I'm not sure which interface or method you're using, but since it looks like you're using a dispinterface I'd suspect the ReadOnly argument to be a VARIANT.
Try setting the ReadOnly argument to boolean type (VT_BOOL) and assign it VARIANT_TRUE or VARIANT_FALSE depending on you needs.
If it doesn't work, post again and describe what interface you're using and what methods you're calling.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Can anybody help me to get Icon details like its name, target path, working directory whenever it is double-clicked to run the application. This is be using Windows API or in C#.
I have already used IShellLink Interface but its been hard-coded for icon name. Suppose the user changes desktop icon name then also coding should be able to change its working directory. This can be done if I can check the existence of the icon.
Regards.

Help me on Creating a Crystal report using a predifined template with vc++ 6.0
I have tried so many times to create a new report using crystal report 11 by incorporating a template with vc++. I didnot find any article or sample code which is written in c++. But after some effort I got to know that there is a function called put_ReportTemplate() which is used for this task. I already know how to create a new report without using a template.
If anybody can help me by supplying a vc++ code on creating a Crystal report using a predifined template, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
In com what does stub and proxy indicate?
I think proxy indicate interface file
class IComponent :public IUnknown; right?
What does stub mean?
Thanks.

In COM, if you create an object in-process you call interface methods directly on the actual object (well technically the object must be in the same apartment but ignore this for now). If the object you're talking to is further away, such as on another machine, this is obviously impossible. In cases like this, when direct a connection isn't possible, proxies and stubs come into play. A proxy is an object that implements the same set of interfaces as the real object and when its methods are called it sends, using whatever communication method is appropriate, information on which method was called and the parameters to the stub which is located near the real object. If the real object is on another machine the network will be used. The stub is an object that receives the data from the proxy and calls into the real object and the sends the return value and any out parameters back to the proxy and thus the client code. The MIDL compiler creates the proxy and stub for you (or info which enables the system to cook some up). Look up marshalling for more details.

Have you seen this ?
HRESULT IWebBrowser2::put_Silent(VARIANT_BOOL bSilent)
you can suppress dialog boxes.

If you set silent property, then no common dialog will be invoked,

I doubt how it is possible, because I think its altogether different mechanism.
Anyhow , whats problem setting this property, doesn't this solve your problem? You already able to get email page of respective accounts. You just need to set this property to true, once user goes to this page, and set back to false, after getting out of it.

Hope this helps you,

do following steps
1. #import .tlb file in your client application. you will find this file in the folder of your com project.
2. Following code should solve your problem.I haven't done any error checking in following
code.
BSTR name;
CoInitialize( NULL );
IExpressionData* pOutputData = NULL;
hResult = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_CExpressionData //replace with your CLSID
, NULL
, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER
, IID_IExpressionData /replace with your IID_
, (void**)&pOutputData);
hResult = pOutputData->your_method( &name );
CoUninitialize( );

Hi All,
Am new to COM and i tried creating a COM server and COM client
COM Server is created by inservting ATL COM object in to MFC Dialog based application project
I hav build the Server application successfully then i tried to CoCreateInstance() from the client app. i hav imported the .tlb file and TestCOMMFC_i.h files. But am getting the following link errors
Compiling...
TestClientDlg.cpp
Linking...
TestClientDlg.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _CLSID_TestServer
TestClientDlg.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_ITestServer
Release/TestClient.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
TestClient.exe - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)
pls reply asap
thnx in advance
|

You should also use the TESTCOMMFC_i.c file, which has the data for these symbols in it. Alternatively, you could use #import on the type library, with the named_guids tag.
If you use the _i.c file, don't forget to change it's settings so that it doesn't use pre-compiled headers.

Hello!
I'm trying to turn on/off system restore on Windows Vista by
calling methods Enable/Disable of WMI Class SystemRestore.
My program works ok on Windows XP. But when I try to run
it on Windows Vista I don't have the desired result.

Hi
I am reading an article author said:
"Windows lets you share code at the binary level using DLLs. After all, that's how Windows apps function - reusing kernel32.dll, user32.dll, etc. But since the DLLs are written to a C interface, they can only be used by C or languages that understand the C calling convention. This puts the burden of sharing on the programming language implementer, instead of on the DLL itself."
[url]http://www.codeproject.com/com/comintro.asp[/url]
Are user32.dll ,kernel32.dll... COM dlls or are they only written in c interface?
I they only written c interface how can other programming languages use these system32 dlls?
|

No, they provide a 'flat' interface - no understanding of objects. Any language implementation on the Windows platform has to understand the Windows C-language Application Binary Interface (ABI), otherwise they simply could not produce working programs.
However, the C++ ABI is not standardised and therefore linking C++ programs with DLLs compiled with a different C++ compiler is unlikely to work. In practice you can normally manage to link a C++ program and DLLs with different versions of the same compiler. Otherwise you have to define a 'flat' interface on the C++ DLLs.
COM defines an ABI for calling between objects.

Thank you very much Mike Dimmick.
Can you plase explain what the meaning of 'flat' interface.
Can you please give me an example or your experience about c++ ABI and DLLs compiled with a different C++ compiler is unlikely to work.
I think this is perfect explanantion but i am beginner so i don't understand it totally.
Can you plase give me more details.
Thanks again...

1. Flat interface means no C++ style classes, eg Window::Close(), instead there are just functions - CreateWindow(), CreateFile()*, CloseHandle() etc.
2. If you have a library or DLL built using VC++, it's unlikely to link correctly against code compiled using a different C++ compiler. In many cases, things like MFC extension libraries are now supplied in multiple flavours, VC6, VC.NET, VC.NET 2003, and VC 2005. A former colleague of mine struggled for ages to get a C++ class compiled with Borland to link with VC++. In the meantrime, I'd implemented a rewrite of the relevant code 
* Actually, it's CreateFileA and CreateFileW on WinNT, Win2K, WinXP and Server 2003, while WinCE has only CreateFileW, but that's a different question...
