Hello smallbluedemon,
1. Make sure that you have set the resource type to be "TYPELIB" and have also set the resource ID to be 1.
2. Try out the following function to load your resource-embedded type library binary :
HRESULT MyLoadTypeLibrary(ITypeLib** ppITypeLibReceiver)
{
TCHAR szFileName[_MAX_PATH];
memset (szFileName, 0, sizeof(szFileName));
GetModuleFileName
(
(HMODULE)NULL,
(LPTSTR)szFileName,
(DWORD)sizeof(szFileName)
);
// Need to concatenate a \1 to the end of the filename
// because we are acquiring the type library which is
// embedded as the 1st resource of type TYPELIB.
strcat (szFileName, "\\1");
return LoadTypeLib((const OLECHAR FAR*)_bstr_t(szFileName), ppITypeLibReceiver);
}
Use it in your code this way :
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
CComPtr<ITypeLib> pTypeLib;
MyLoadTypeLibrary(&pTypeLib);
return 0;
}
Pls let me know how things go 
Best Regards,
Bio.

Hello, Bio.
Thank you very much!
By your suggestion, I found my mistakes. In my resource header file "resource.h", I set following macro:
#define IDR_TYPELIB 199
But, I forgot to add this to file name. I add your statement:
........
GetModuleFileName(hInstance, ansiPath, MAX_PATH);
strcat(ansiPath,"\\199");
MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, ansiPath, strlen(ansiPath) + 1,module, MAX_PATH);
.......
Problem resolved !
Thank you again. Thank you very much!
Your sincerely
Remy (smallbluedemon)

I recently developed a .Net 2003 Windows Application that posts xml documents to a URL using XMLHTTP methods (required by vendor). I have not found any reference of XMLHTTP for the Net platform, but did find out that the methods are exposed through the MSXML library, so I added in my project a reference to the Interop msxml2 dll and used the methods. The application runs very well on my Visual Studio 2003 IDE, but when I moved the dll's to the server, it gives me the following exception:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800C0008): The download of the specified resource has failed. at MSXML2.XMLHTTPClass.send(Object varBody) at ttHTTPWebclient.ttHttpWebClient.SendHttpRequest(String st
I don't know much about COM and have no idea what this error means. Could not find info about it on the net either, so I decided to try this forum.
Here is my code:
Public Function SendHttpRequest(ByVal strServiceURL As String, ByVal xmlMessage As String, Optional ByVal Mode As String = "msg") As String
Dim strResponse As String
Dim xmlhttp As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP
Dim xmlDocRQ As New MSXML2.DOMDocument
Dim xmlDocRS As New MSXML2.DOMDocument
Dim xmlLenght As Integer
Dim root As MSXML2.DOMNodeType
Try
'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'// Createthe HHTP Post quote request //
'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'Initialize Dom Variables
xmlLenght = xmlMessage.Length
xmlDocRQ.async = False
xmlDocRQ.loadXML(xmlMessage) 'Load xml Msg vendor request into a DOM
xmlhttp.open("post", strServiceURL, False, "ESPTest1", "4zz8ygh7mkka")
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8")
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-length", xmlLenght)
'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'// Send the Post request and get the response from the vendor //
'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
xmlhttp.send(xmlDocRQ)
xmlDocRS = xmlhttp.responseXML
strResponse = xmlDocRS.xml
'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'// Return response to the calling method //
'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Return strResponse
Catch ex As Exception
Dim strex As String
strex = ex.ToString()
Return strex
End Try
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I can not use normal POST messages because the authentication (userid/Password) can not be part of either the URL (query string) or the actual xml message being posted, per vendor requirement (owner of the page I am posting to) .
Regards,
Ivan

hello,
I am a newbie when working with COMs and dlls. I have written an application in VC++, and wanted to add one more functionality in the form of a function. Now this is additonal functionality is actually done by a VB team in the form of a .dll made in VB 6.
How can I import the function from that .dll to use in my application? Is there any tutorial available which addresses this issue?
Please let me know.
Thanks

I've a program written on Delphi whith implemented Automation interface. This program is not register itself in Running Object Table in the runtime. How can I connect to the running instance of this program's automation interface from my C++ client?

There is a activex written using MFC and COM .
The main class inherits
CComObjectRootEx
IDispatchImpl
CComCoClass
IObjectSafetyImpl
Now 2threads are created inside this class in the constructor.
When IE is refreshed/reloaded, I loss the pointer of the process and
threads are not deallocated.
So what I did is, made thread ID's as static in the class and
deallocate them in the constructor before creating new threads.
When I WaitforSingleObject() I always get time out(258).
so I call TerminateThread().
I know this is wrong way.
Now this method is leaving lot of leaks.
Please suggest me a remedy so that I can trap the refresh ask my thread
to exit gracefully.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello.
I know how to send longs, ints, booleans, (basic types) between a COM component and a client using VARIANT.
However, how do I send a user defined object using VARIANTs as well?
Is it possible?
Could you post please a small source code example?
THANK YOU

I have written a COM service using ATL 7.0 and VS 2003 which contains one COM Class. The class uses a number of member variables, some of which are CComBSTRs. Clients can use the get/put methods on these strings. The strings are processing parameters for calls to the calculation operation in the COM object. The string variables are changed to alter the output each time the object is called. Sometimes, the result of the get function is not what was sent to the put function.
Server Code:
<br />
CComBSTR m_bstrTheString;<br />
<br />
m_bstrTheString = SysAllocString(L"Testing");<br />
<br />
[propget, helpstring("property m_bstrTheString")] HRESULT m_bstrTheString([out, retval] BSTR* pVal);<br />
[propput, helpstring("property m_bstrTheString")] HRESULT m_bstrTheString([in] BSTR newVal);<br />
<br />
STDMETHOD(get_m_bstrTheString)(BSTR* pVal);<br />
STDMETHOD(put_m_bstrTheString)(BSTR newVal);<br />
<br />
STDMETHODIMP CMyClass::get_m_bstrTheString(BSTR* pVal)<br />
{<br />
*pVal = m_bstrTheString;<br />
return S_OK;<br />
}<br />
<br />
STDMETHODIMP CHunter::put_m_bstrTheString(BSTR newVal)<br />
{<br />
size_t s = ::SysStringLen(m_bstrTheString);<br />
if(s > 0)<br />
::SysFreeString(m_bstrTheString);<br />
m_bstrTheString= ::SysAllocString(newVal);<br />
return S_OK;<br />
}<br />
In the client code(simplified):
<br />
BSTR bstrIn;<br />
BSTR bstrOut;<br />
<br />
HRESULT hr = CoInitialize(NULL);<br />
CT2CW szIn(argv[3]);<br />
bstrIn = ::SysAllocString(szIn);<br />
if(bstrIn == NULL)<br />
return E_OUTOFMEMORY;<br />
MyService::IMyPtr pMine(__uuidof(MyService::CMy));<br />
hr = pHunter->put_m_bstrTheString(bstrIn);<br />
hr = pHunter->get_m_bstrTheString(&bstrOut);<br />
My question is: Is this a good way to go about this. I am having the problem of the string sometimes being overwritten by other variables of the same type when performing operations on them.
Thanks in advance for any help.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vclib/html/_atl_CComBSTR.3a3a.Copy.asp?frame=true[^]
CComBSTR does all the SysAllocString stuff for you.
Try this instead:
<br />
CComBSTR m_bstrTheString;<br />
<br />
m_bstrTheString = L"Testing";
<br />
[propget, helpstring("property m_bstrTheString")] HRESULT m_bstrTheString([out, retval] BSTR* pVal);<br />
[propput, helpstring("property m_bstrTheString")] HRESULT m_bstrTheString([in] BSTR newVal);<br />
<br />
STDMETHOD(get_m_bstrTheString)(BSTR* pVal);<br />
STDMETHOD(put_m_bstrTheString)(BSTR newVal);<br />
<br />
STDMETHODIMP CMyClass::get_m_bstrTheString(BSTR* pVal)<br />
{<br />
*pVal = m_bstrTheString.Copy();<br />
return S_OK;<br />
}<br />
<br />
STDMETHODIMP CHunter::put_m_bstrTheString(BSTR newVal)<br />
{<br />
m_bstrTheString= newVal;<br />
return S_OK;<br />
}<br />

How to detect ActiveX on IE when it begins run using BHO?
exactly, I want to know CLSID of ActiveX.
How to catch it?
help me.
and thanks.

Hi, I have an activeX object ( no GUI ) that I want to use in my MFC project. The problem is I can't seem to capture the messages fired by the activeX. It works fine in the control container, in Visual Basic, .NET but I can't seem to get it to work in VC6.0. What I did to test it, was create a simple dialog based application, added the component through the Add to project/components and controls, used class wizard to add a variable, and also added a handler for the OnMessage. I than created a simple button to invoke a method that fires a message. The message is not retrieved by the OnMessage handler. What could be the problem?
When I debug the ActiveX itself, I see it entering the Fire_OnMessage function but nConnections = 0??? Why is this, how do I have to instantiate the ActiveX object to make it work?
HRESULT Fire_OnMessage(BSTR bstrResult)
{
CComVariant varResult;
T* pT = static_cast<t*>(this);
int nConnectionIndex;
CComVariant* pvars = new CComVariant[1];
int nConnections = m_vec.GetSize();

Does anybody have a template project or information on how to create an ActiveX EXE (out of process) server in Visual c++? All of the templates included with the compiler either create an in-process ActiveX or an out of process COM object that is not an ActiveX object.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

I think this is a question of terminology.
"ActiveX EXE" in the VB programmer's world usually mean an "out-of-process COM server with automation interface" in the C++ programmer's world.
My suggestion is this, given that I've understood you correctly:
run the ordinary MFC AppWizard and create an SDI application and have the document support automation.
Hope this helps

Roger
It's supposed to be hard, otherwise anybody could do it!

I have a C# (managed code) DLL and I am accessing this DLL's functions from C++ (unmanaged code) using COM.
I create a COM object with CoCreateInstance function. Then I do work on this object. After that I call Release() function on this object. But after calling Release() function the object is not destroyed automatically. After calling Release function I called some more functions on this object and all those calls were successful.
I also checked the return value of Release function call which is ZERO which shows the reference count of the object is ZERO and it should automatically destroy the object as soon as the reference count becomes ZERO. But in my case the object is not destroyed.
Actually in my project work I have to create and destroy the COM object many times (1000-2000). So in each iteration the memory size is increasing and after some iteration it becomes more than 1 GB and fills all the page file space and the program hangs.
Could Anybody suggest me how to delete the COM object. I have also given below the server side code which is in C#.
The client side code which I am using is following :
#import "ServerSideCode.tlb" named_guids high_method_prefix("")
#include <iostream.h>
#include <comdef.h>
using namespace ServerSideCode;
class Test
{
public:
IEnterDetails *pPER1;
IEnterDetails *pPER;
IEnterAge *pAge;
public:
void Func1();
};
void Test::Func1()
{
pPER1 = NULL;
HRESULT hr = CoInitialize(NULL);
hr=CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(Manager), NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
__uuidof(IEnterDetails), reinterpret_cast<void**>(&pPER1));
pPER1->Print();
long a = pPER1->Release();
a = pPER1->Release();
a = pPER1->Release();
a = pPER1->Release();
// pPER1 = NULL;
pPER1->EnterName();
pPER1->Print();
pPER1->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IEnterAge), reinterpret_cast<void**>(&pAge));
pAge->EnterAge();
pAge->Print();
a = pPER1->Release();
CoUninitialize();
}
void main()
{
Test tt;
tt.Func1();
}
The C# code which was used to build the DLL (ServerSideCode.dll) is the following
using System;
namespace ServerSideCode
{
public interface IEnterDetails
{
void EnterName();
void EnterDesignation();
void EnterIncome1();
void EnterIncome2();
void Add();
void Print();
}
public interface IEnterAge
{
void EnterAge();
void Print();
int Age {get; set;}
}
public class Person : IEnterDetails
{
private string Name = "DefaultName", Des = "DefaultDesignation";
private int inc1=0, inc2=0,inc=0;
public void EnterName()
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter your Name : ");
Name = Console.ReadLine();
}
public void EnterDesignation()
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter your Designation : ");
Des = Console.ReadLine();
}
public void EnterIncome1()
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter your source1 income :");
inc1 = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
}
public void EnterIncome2()
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter your source2 income :");
inc2 = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
}
public void Add()
{
inc=inc1+inc2;
}
public void Print()
{
Console.WriteLine("Emplyee Name : {0}", Name);
Console.WriteLine("Employee Designation : {0}", Des);
Console.WriteLine("Income from Source1 : {0} \n Income from Source2 : {1}", inc1, inc2);
Console.WriteLine("Total Income of the Employee : {0}",inc);
}
}
public class Manager: Person, IEnterAge
{
private int age;
public void EnterAge()
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter the Age in years :");
age = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
}
public int Age
{
get
{
return age;
}
set
{
age = value;
}
}
public void Print()
{
base.Print();
Console.WriteLine("The Age of the Employee : {0}", age);
}
}
}
Please tell me if I am wrong anywhere in my server code.

Your code seems to be ok. But it is possible that the database server add's a refcount to your interface. Therefore uninitialize your interface (calls like: close() uninitialize() or some like that). If all dependencies are release your interface will be destroyed finally. By the way you should never delete an interface (delete m_pAnalCntrlv7;).
|

hi mbue,
Thank you very much for responding.
You are right that I should never delete a interface pointer (delete m_pAnalCntrlv7;). I am not doing it.
You say that there is a possibility that database server adds a refcount to my COM object. Yes, there may be a possibility. I have got another very simple code and I have not to use any database in that. But I am still getting the same problem in that code also.
I am goofed up trying it.
Can you (or anybody else) suggest me any other reasons why it is happening to me?
Many heartiest Thanks in Advance 
Amit

Debug through the code and you can see whats wrong in your modules. In this example the external interface refcount goes to zero when you call Release(). Sorry for the vanished tabs.

hi,
Thanks Again.
Your mail is helpful but I am very new to COM so find it a bit difficult to understand.
You have written some server side code also. Here I want to know "Do we need to override the Addref() and Release() functions of IUnknown interfaces or there is no need to do it"
Actually I have just got the DLL by building the C# code. I have not written the coding of Addref, QueryInterface and Release functions. Is that wrong ?
I have posted an other message on the board which contains both codes (client side and server side). Can you please see that message and help me in sorting the problem out. I logged that message because for the problem of the present message I cannot provide server side code. Please see that message also and let me know your comments. Your mail is very very helpful to me and it may take me out of the misery I am going through for so long. I can just say Thank You Very Very Much, dear.
Best Regards,
