Hi,
How does one go about implementing an event sink (in CLI C++) for a COM object that supports the IConnectionPoint interface without access to it's type library. In essence, how can it be done late-bound at runtime?
More information:
I'm having trouble implementing a late bound event sink (without a type library). I would like to subscribe to events from a COM object that implements the IConnectionPoint interface. I instantiate the object using Activator::CreateInstance. I then enumerate its connection points using IConnectionPointContainer::EnumConnectionPoints. Upon successfully obtaining a pointer to the IConnectionPoint interface, I call its Advise function like Advise(this, cookie), where this is a simple public ref class. Initially, the function was failing with a Cast Exception. However after specifying the ComVisible(true) for the class, the function succeeded returning a cookie.
Now, my issue is, the source COM object uses the IDispatch and IUnknown interfaces of the object I pass it to determine what events to send and to actually send the events. How can I specify my own implementations of these two interfaces, so that they get called instead of the default system implementation? Maybe I am approaching this the wrong way, but I haven't found any documentation regarding late-bound event handling from COM objects.
Thanks!

An event sink is just an interface, typically an IDispatch interface. If it is an IDispatch interface normally you only need to implement IDispatch::Invoke.

Thanks for your response.
I guess what I meant was, how would you go about doing it in CLI/C++. How can I define a managed class that implements the IDispatch interface in CLI/C++ because apparently the base class for all managed types (Object) internally implement the IDispatch / IUnknown interfaces. How can I override the default implementation with my own? Thanks!

If you're making a source inteface you'll probably want to assign the DISPID explictly. See here[^]. I'm no dotNET expert however; I'm a C++ programmer with no plans to "upgrade" unless forced (which will probably happen sooner or later).

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. For the time being I resorted to wrapping the functionality I required in a native COM C++ class and calling it using marshaling from my managed code. Thanks again!

We have to implement a com server as an executable which will be communicating with a COM dll. COM server would need to call certain functions in COM dll and the com dll would also need to invoke certain functions in the com exe. That is, both would be acting as a server as well as a client. What are the design issues to be considered? Any code samples, tips and suggestion would be most welcome.
Thanks

When thinking in terms of "client" and "server" it's generally a good idea not to mix those two up.
Or to put it in other words: the server serves the client in the aspect of solving a problem which usually is well defined and the server is considered a black box and you don't know how it looks inside and neither want to know nor need to.
If you somehow get the impression that the client should serve the server, you should generally get suspicious.
If the server need information from the client it does not call the client; the server is provided the information by a call from the client presumably in a struct defined in the IDL-file for the server, or through method parameters.
A situation where the server actually calls the client would be during an asynchronous operation when the server informs the client that the operation has finished, e.g. connection points.
If you still think your client should behave like a server, please describe your problem further.

Hi !! 
I have to port an OLE Server from W2K to WXP. I didn't create the code (that was russian guys infact).
At the moment, We will consider, there is only One Server and One Client (an OCX). Both are in VC++ 6.
The first approach was to simply install the package (which was working under w2K) on the WXP computer.
Then, we saw that when the OCX connects to the Server, both the server and the OCX crashes.
The second approach, was to compile them under WXP, and then launch it. no changes, the server and the OCX crashes.
Third thing i did, I launched the Server and the Client step by step and saw where exactly it crashes. The server crashes on a DispatchMessage instruction in the _tWinMain function. But what makes the server to crash is a AfxConnectionAdvice instruction. I got no explanation. My understanding of technical aspects of COM is quite limitated. I Just started to retrieve some tuorials, aso...
I looked further to see what could make that to crash, and didn't foud a lot of informations a bout a similar problem.
I finally stepped over the AfxConnectionAdvice and the server didn't crash. but the OCX still had problems elsewhere. the list is quite long. 
My questions are :
- what could make this happened ?
- What could be the good method to solve this issues ?
- What are the points to check ?
Thanks very much for your answers

Hello i have a problem with event sink. I need to contol a NewWindow when it pops-up (to change if its visible toolbar)
i'm not sure about pDispParams->rgvarg[1].pdispVal; parametr. SOmehow i dont have handle to the new window.
Please help...
Code for NEWWINDOW2 event:
HRESULT __stdcall DWebBrowserEventsImpl::Invoke(DISPID dispIdMember,
REFIID riid,
LCID lcid,
WORD wFlags,
DISPPARAMS __RPC_FAR *pDispParams,
VARIANT __RPC_FAR *pVarResult,
EXCEPINFO __RPC_FAR *pExcepInfo,
UINT __RPC_FAR *puArgErr)
{
if (dispIdMember == DISPID_NEWWINDOW2)
{
//event sink is working because i can get a test message every time a new window pops
//but somehow i cant control a new wondow ?
MessageBox(NULL,"TEST","TEST",NULL);
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// this part wont work ?
CComQIPtr< IWebBrowser2> Nwin= pDispParams->rgvarg[1].pdispVal;
Nwin->put_Visible(TRUE);
Nwin->put_MenuBar(TRUE);
Nwin->put_ToolBar(FALSE);
}
return NOERROR;
}

MSDN says about DISPID_NEWWINDOW2:
The user clicks a link while pressing the SHIFT key.
The user right-clicks a link and selects Open In New Window.
The user selects New Window from the File menu.
There is a targeted navigation to a frame name that does not yet exist.
I hope it is not one of above case.
Can you show coclass declaration for this class?

I have a simple VB6 class in a DLL that has two functions , AllocateLargeArray and DeAllocateLargeArray. I am driving the DLL from an MFC App and in this App I have a button that creates an interface to the VB Class and calls the two functions then releases.
If I then look at the Apps Private bytes (VM Size in TM) of the process the value seems to initially increase lots say to 1900k then on subsequent presses of the button drop to 1600k again to 1300k again to 1000k and then shoot back up to 1900k !
Can anyone tell me why is behaviour ?
To aid here is a a snippet of the code in VB.
Thanks.
Option Explicit
Dim mCollection As Collection
Public Function AllocateLargeArray()
Dim loc As MyStruct
Dim ii As Integer
Set mCollection = Nothing
Set mCollection = New Collection
For ii = 1 To 10000
Set loc = New MyStruct
mCollection.Add loc
Next ii
End Function
Public Function DeAllocateLargeArray()
Dim ii As Integer
ii = 1
Do While ii <= mCollection.Count
mCollection.Remove ii
Loop
Set mCollection = Nothing
End Function

I'm no expert in VB, but, while removing loc(MyStruct) from mCollection, shouldn't you set element to be removed to nothing.
i.e.
Do While ii <= mCollection.Count
mCollection.Remove ii
Loop

If it was not deleted surely next time I called the same function the memory would just keep increasing and increasing no ?
I followed what you said and set ever Item to Nothing before removing it from the Collection, but I still get strange memory readings like before though a little different !

Hmmm, I can see that much memory leak, mentioned earlier.
Dont know how you are using it.

hi
I am working killing a process using WMI iam using the following code .
HRESULT hres;
BSTR ClassName = SysAllocString(L"Win32_Process");
/* YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE NUMBER VALUE OF THE HANDLE
(PROCESS ID) TO THE CORRECT VALUE OF THE PROCESS YOU
ARE TRYING TO TERMINATE (this provides a path to
the class instance you are tying to terminate). */
BSTR ClassNameInstance = SysAllocString(
L"Win32_Process.Handle=\"\1418\"");
_bstr_t MethodName = (L"Terminate");
BSTR ParameterName = SysAllocString(L"Reason");
IWbemClassObject* pClass = NULL;
hres = m_pIWbemService->GetObject(ClassName, 0, NULL, &pClass, NULL);
IWbemClassObject* pInParamsDefinition = NULL;
IWbemClassObject* pOutMethod = NULL;
hres = pClass->GetMethod(MethodName, 0,
&pInParamsDefinition, &pOutMethod);
if (FAILED(hres))
{
cout << "Could not get the method. Error code = 0x"
<< hex << hres << endl;
}
IWbemClassObject* pClassInstance = NULL;
hres = pInParamsDefinition->SpawnInstance(0, &pClassInstance);
// Create the values for the in parameters
VARIANT pcVal;
VariantInit(&pcVal);
V_VT(&pcVal) = VT_I4;
// Store the value for the in parameters
hres = pClassInstance->Put(L"Reason", 0,
&pcVal, 0);
// Execute Method
hres = m_pIWbemService->ExecMethod(ClassNameInstance, MethodName, 0,
NULL, pClassInstance, NULL, NULL);
if (FAILED(hres))
{
cout << "Could not execute method. Error code = 0x"
<< hex << hres << endl;
VariantClear(&pcVal);
SysFreeString(ClassName);
SysFreeString(MethodName);
pClass->Release();
pInParamsDefinition->Release();
m_pIWbemService->Release();
//pLoc->Release();
CoUninitialize();
return 1; // Program has failed.
}
it is working fine ,but here iam gicing the Process ID which has to be terminated like 1418.
Instead of ProcessID i want to use process Name like CAlc.exe or notepad.exe
but when IAm tring to change the code with the process name like
SysAllocString(
L"Win32_Process.Name=\"\notepad.exe\"");
notepad is not terminating . can you please help me to solve it.
Thanks in Advance

pItem1Ptr->put_innerHTML(L"");
The code above is to change something in the HTML.
It works well in IE6,I can get the gif picture successfully.
But when I run my code in IE7, this code can't work........and I found that, if I replace c:\\float.gif into http://somesite/somepic.gif It can work nice. So I think there maybe something changed in IE7, can anyone tell me how to show my c:\\float.gif picture in IE7????

Try using "file:///c:/float.gif" (as you should if file paths are used).

well,thanks for your reply.
but both your method or mine get the same result.
I use get_innnerHTML ,and print the result:
It seems just ok.
But whatever,I can't see the picture.
The propertis of picture I just can see:
Protocol: Not Available
Type: Not Available
Address: Not Available
Size: Not Available

Hi All,
Recently I got some doubts regarding Connection Points. Please replay the mail, if you know the answers.
1. What are the main drabacks (except implementation difficulties). Suppose client requested the server for some operation and doing its wone work. In the time of server doing work, if some problem occurred on the server. Then how server inform the client saying that operation failed.
My doubt is how server inform client sink, when server fails to do the operation.
2. Why Microsft intraduced delegates, while we are having Connection points. I know delegates are type safe, object oriented. But why elemenated Connection points.
3. VB internally uses Sink Map, IConnectionSimpleImple or not.
Thanks

Have a debug failure when creating a window of my COM 3d imager. I think its an issue with passing my OLE control through my sub classes.
When I created my 3d imager window inside my application…
bRet = m_pSatMap->Create("Internal_DB_SAT_Map", 0, Rect, pMainFrm, ID_SAT_MEM_MAP, NULL, FALSE);
I got an assertion error from ENSURE(afxOccMgr != NULL)”. After researching this I found that this would occur when AfxEnableControlContainer() was not call. However it is in my main but not in my subclass where the Create is called. So I added it to that class, and now I have another assertion problem. Now “ASSERT(pWndCtrl->m_pCtrlSite == NULL)” is failing.
I think I’m looking for a site that speaks to how to pass afx control to classes inside an application.
Thanks for any help

Hi Community,
for my next project, I need a kind of data grid in my application. Is there a handy ActiveX-control which I can use on a FormView, or is there a way to use the Windows Forms DataGridView in my MFC-App?
Thanks,
