Sir,
Sorry for not explaining the context.Because i want to know that is there any way that
we can do it. The actual thing is that i had to use IDiscMaster interface. My os is
Windows 2000. I searched through net and came to know that we have to make use this
IDiscMaster Interface. I searched for it in my machine i found the key in the registry.
but i cannot find a method through which i can get the class object and along with
that i can access the interace ptr of IDiscMaster. PSFactoryBuffer is the object i think i have to get
not sure of that . How do i traverse through that IDiscMaster Interface ?.
Thank you very much

IDiscMaster is part of the IMAPI (Image Mastering API). This isn't supported on Win2K, only on XP (and later), so you can't create the object that would provide this interface, as it won't be installed on the system. If you check out the MSDN site, it should point you to stuff written by Paul DiLascia which uses this (April '04 issue of MSDN Magazine, IIRC).

I'm writing a BHO in C++ where I need to modify POST data under certain circumstances.
When I get an Invoke(dispidMember == DISPID_BEFORENAVIGATE2), the POST data is contained in pDispParams->rgvarg[2]. I need to modify that data before I leave Invoke().
Now, I could do:
m_spWebBrowser2->Stop();
m_spWebBrowser2->Navigate(...);
But Navigate() is going to fire another Invoke(DISPID_BEFORENAVIGATE2) event, and without some tricky programming, which I'd like to avoid, I'll wind up in an endless loop.
Is there any way to modify pDispParams->rgvarg[2] so that IE recognizes it upon returning from Invoke()?

Hi to all !
I've a COM server registered on my machine. How can I use that without importing it's any .tlb file (Because I don't have any). I'm able to get class id using CLSIDFromProgID() but I'm not able to get any Interface ID. Is there any sample or article describing the use of CLSIDFromProgID(), IIDFromString().
Thanks in advance !

Have you tried to #import the server module into your project? Sometimes the typelib information might be found inside as a resource.

Hello Rechi !
I would have done that, but I don't have module code or any .tlb file to import into my project. That's why I went for IIDFromString and CLSIDFromString functions. Those gives me IDs from registry entries. My CLSUDFromString is working fine, but IIDFromString is failing to retrive any interface ID. That's why I couldn't create any object for the component.

Maybe i didn't understand exactly what you said but by module code do you mean the source code? You might not need it. Just locate the .dll or .exe server file and try to #import it as if it would have been the .tlb file, like this:
#import "c:\server path\server.dll" If you get no error at compile time then the wrapper files were generated in the output path of your project.
The IIDFromString function is just a converter and has no typelib-browsing significance.

hi all,
To develop Com Project in Visual Studio we have a option called ATL
Com Project in the Project Tab. Like the same way Can v develop a Com
project using .net

You can't use the same way in .Net. Instead of ATL project, you can use Class Library or Windows Control Library Project in .Net

Hi everyone,
I am currently working on a smartphone project that needs to
communicate with some COM component. Since the .NET compact framework
does not support the DCOM, I decided to create a web service to expose
the COM component's methods and events.
As the some of the COM methods return int** or byte** data back to the
caller, I manually changed the generated interop assembly ( from
IntPtr to IntPtr& for the out going parameter int*** or byte**) after
generating the intermedate language file using ildasm.exe and
regenerate the interop assembly using ilasm.exe utility in order to
get the arrays of bytes or integers for the web service methods.
Here is the problem I am facing:
The web service methods caller can only get the first elements back
from the COM component while windows caller can get all the data back.
I wonder if I need set some binding attribute to make it work for web service.
I would be very grateful if you could help me out.
send me info here or @ guocangz@yahoo.ca
Thank you.
Mike Zhang.
Have a nice day

.NET Interop really only understands the Automation datatypes. Try using a SAFEARRAY.

I have many resembling activex controls (third party components with their SDKs) ( resemblance in functionnality). they are controls that controls different types of IP Surveillance Camera. I need to develop an application that is independent of them, ie access them independently, so that when i add new control for a new camera, the application needs not be recompiled. so the code has to be external to the application, more than that the linking should be explicit and at execution time rather at load time.
I tried using a DLL which contains a Cwnd object that embeds the activex control in order to declare the EventSink map there and be able to capture events and then relay them to the application by telling the Dll to link to its caller module.
but i did'nt even succeed to make calls in the direct sense, ie application-->exp Dll functions-->Cwnd member functions-->activex specific members, so to create the object etc, the problem being MFC-class pointer can't pass between app and Dll !!?
So how to encapsulate the different activex components in an abstract one. i tried to see COM, but unsuccessfully: is there a sort of activex control inheritance at least (derivation)? Or can I apply containment ( by creation of new activeX control or a general COM component which would contains an object of the particular ActiveX)
here's some other details (Note for the ActiveX control I can access them via C++, by building an MFC proxy class ( Create New class-->MFC class from ActiveX ) then integrate that class into a container where i insert the EventSink Map. Well i succeeded 100% in integrating evry control, and capturing its events, etc, but it's just about encapsulation)
the details :
"
the activex control i'm talking about are as i understood a sort of COM objects, which are to me classes that can be instantiated at execution time, so the dll needs not an implicit link to the client exe.
i have an application that access different camera on the network through those particular activex control, the code being like this :
for example for an axis camera, in the main view window i call
m_Axis.Create(...,this,CRect(..),..); ( m_Axis being here an object of an MFC proxy class to an activeX control (Axis Camera Media Control)).
and of course i handle the onsize member function :
so you can see that the activex control is even responsible for rendering the video stream. other members do the connection, allow me to get a handle to the image being displayed, etc.
so my problem is that i do'nt want the code to be integrated into my application, in order for the application not to depend on those control. so i want some sort of specification such the application can load and talk independently to those objects.
the code would look like :
CcameraControl *_cam[5];
and when the user adds a camera to be controled by the application, a dialog prompting for its ip address, and very possibly its type, appears, then i use the type information to localize the control which is then loaded into a case of the table above.
so i need to encapsulate, create new controls for evry activex, such that those control have the same functions and can talk to the caller-application using a same mechanism.
here's what i tried :
i thought i must derive new classes from the activex control, such those classes have the same functions. they need to relay the control from the application to their parent specific services. and capture events back from their parent and relay them to the application, but here i came to the inevitable ad the impossible :
although succeeding in encapsulating the controls into uniform components, there is no WAY for those classes to be loaded at the execution time and behave as true plug-in components. for example for MFC, if there is a wa&y to write a dll that exports some classes dervived from mfc classes, that dll need be implicitly linked to the exe, and this latter wouldn't succeed even to load without her.
Is in COM, ATL a solution ?
So what i did was to create a simple dll, that can access mfc, then in the CWinApp object i declared a Cwnd object ( acontainer for the specific control) and to there i shifted an activex control data member: when the window is created, it creates the control in its area. i declared the eventsink map in the CWnd so to capture the events. and then you have simple plain exportable functions that enable the caller to create the internal CWnd object and calles its members. but since i need to pass a parent window (originating from the application interface classes) then the problem i talked about comes ( mfc pointer)
here's also what i tried :
a new MFC ActiveX project, thinking i can apply the containment principle :
an abstract, wrapper Control contains the specific one, relay the evnts in either senses, but it just didn't work, the specific activex control create function fails when the OnCreate container member function is called to load the global control"
Thank u in advance.

hi:
i want to change the recipents of outlook2003 after the user clicked the send-button. For example, the old email-address is "aaa<aaa@aaa.com>" , and i want to change it to "aaa<bbb@bbb.com>". the display-name is kept, but the email-address is changed.
i use function IExchExtMessageEvents::OnCheckNames(IExchExtCallback *lpExchangeCallback), as following code:
STDMETHODIMP mymail::OnCheckNames(IExchExtCallback *lpExchangeCallback)
{
HRESULT hRet = S_OK;
LPMESSAGE lpMessage = NULL;
LPMDB lpMdb = NULL;
LPADRLIST pRecipentRows = NULL;
ULONG ulValues, ulTag;
lpExchangeCallback->GetRecipients(&pRecipentRows);
if( pRecipentRows->cEntries == 0 )
return S_FALSE;
for(unsigned long n = 0; n < pRecipentRows->cEntries; n++ ){
ulValues = pRecipentRows->aEntries[n].cValues;
for(unsigned long i = 0; i < ulValues; i++){
ulTag = pRecipentRows->aEntries[n].rgPropVals[i].ulPropTag;
if( PR_EMAIL_ADDRESS == ulTag || PR_DISPLAY_NAME == ulTag){
//new address
char* p = "bbb@bbb.com";
char* pNewContact = NULL;
MAPIAllocateBuffer(strlen(p)+1, (LPVOID FAR *)&pNewContact);
strcpy(pNewContact, p);
//change email address
pRecipentRows->aEntries[n].rgPropVals[i].Value.lpszA = pNewContact;
}
}
}
hRet = lpExchangeCallback->SetRecipients(pRecipentRows);//hRet is S_OK;
return hRet ;
}
when i debugging, the "bbb@bbb.com" is set to the pRecipentRows, but the outlook2003 still send email as old emil-address "aaa@aaa.com". why?
who could help me?
thanks alot

hi,
I want to know how do we use BSTR and VARIANT .Can any one please tell where to find the information about these?
Thank You

MSDN (Microsoft's Developer web pages) will tell you everything you need to know. Also, you might want to try Google, using "BSTR" and/or "VARIANT" as your search parameters.

Hope that helps!
