Hi All,

I have an ActiveX control. And the event map is defined in the control's implementation (.CPP) file.
Say the event map has a function

EVENT_CUSTOM("SomeEvent", FireSomeEvent, VTS_BOOL)

defined in it...

Now I can very easily call the function 'FireSomeEvent' from the control's implementation cpp file.
Can I call 'FireSomeEvent' from some other cpp file....means some other's class's code ??

If yes then how??

Urgent help needed...

Thanks and Regards

Error while creating object using CreateInstance()

Re: Error while creating object using CreateInstance()

//Main.h
__interface IFileIO : IDispatch
{
[id(1), helpstring("method GetFile")] HRESULT GetFile();
[id(2), helpstring("method getDirectory")] HRESULT GetDirectory();
};

class ATL_NO_VTABLE EDCService :public IFileIO
{
public:
EDCService()
{
}
DECLARE_PROTECT_FINAL_CONSTRUCT()
HRESULT FinalConstruct()
{
return S_OK;
}

void FinalRelease()
{
}

public:

STDMETHOD(GetFile);
STDMETHOD(GetDirectory);
}

Hi friends ...

STDMETHOD(GetFile);
STDMETHOD(GetDirectory); these two methods definitions are written main.cpp

i doing so many try's to solve this prob..first i create instance of EDCService.like

EDCService edcobj;

then i create instance of EDCService like

edcobj.CreateInstance(); but showing..

When i compile this code i get the follwing errors i dont know how was solve it

error C2039: 'CreateInstance' : is not a member of 'EDCService'

error C2259: 'EDCService' : cannot instantiate abstract class

Please tell me how to solve this problem ..

You aren't supposed to create an instance that way. If you are inside your program, you could use CComObject<edcservice>::CreateInstance. To create it from a client, you would normally assign a class ID to EDCService and the use CoCreateInstance.

IDispatch has four pure virtual methods that you can implement by deriving EDCService from IDispatchImpl. IDispatch derives from IUnknown which has three more methods, which are implemented in CComObject. Also you need an interface map for EDCService so that CComObject::QueryInterface can work correctly.

This looks like attributed ATL. You really don't want to use it. Attribute support for standard C++ is much weaker than for .net, and I've found that (at least with VS2003) that it has an extreme problem with interface dependancies, because the generated .idl file neither forward declares types, nor attempts to put them in an order which wouldn't need it. To do anything significant with ATL, you'll need to learn IDL.

Bug in atlhost.h

I don't know where to report this bug, so may be this is the right place...
If you set an IDocHostUIHandlerDispatch-interface the FilterDataObject-Method of CAxHostWindow does NOT query the IDataObject-interface from the returned IUnknown, instead it calls QueryInterface on it self:

if (m_spIDocHostUIHandlerDispatch != NULL)
{
	CComPtr<iunknown> spUnk;
	hr = m_spIDocHostUIHandlerDispatch->FilterDataObject(pDO, &spUnk);
	if (spUnk)
		hr = QueryInterface(__uuidof(IDataObject), (void**)ppDORet);    // self!!
	if (FAILED(hr) || *ppDORet == NULL)
		hr = S_FALSE;
}
</iunknown>

So the line

hr = QueryInterface(__uuidof(IDataObject), (void**)ppDORet);

should be more like:

hr = spUnk->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IDataObject), (void**)ppDORet);

Does anyone know where to report this bug?

Greetings,

Getting element id on click event from web browser in ATL

Hi All,

I have developed the project in ATL in which I am getting events from the browser window through Invoke() function of the IDispatch interface.

And my question is that I want to get Mouse Click event with the element id on which event has been fired.How can I do that?

I tried below code to do the same but I m not getting success.

<br />
<br />
STDMETHODIMP CSimpleTab::Invoke(DISPID dispIdMember, REFIID riid, LCID lcid, WORD wFlags,<br />
                                    DISPPARAMS* pDispParams, VARIANT* pVarResult,<br />
                                    EXCEPINFO* pExcepInfo, UINT* puArgErr)<br />
{<br />
      switch (dispIdMember)<br />
      {<br />
          case DISPID_HTMLELEMENTEVENTS2_ONMOUSEDOWN:<br />
          {<br />
              CComVariant dis_event;<br />
			  dis_event = (CSimpleTab *)(this);<br />
			  <br />
			  IDispatch *lpDispatch = pVarResult->pdispVal;<br />
			  IHTMLEventObj * eventObj;<br />
			  HRESULT hr = lpDispatch->QueryInterface(IID_IHTMLEventObj,(void **)&eventObj);<br />
<br />
			  IHTMLElement * element;<br />
			  eventObj->get_srcElement(&element);<br />
          }<br />
      }<br />
}<br />

in above code I m getting null in to the pVarResult->pdispVal parameter.
Do you have any idea why does this happen?
Thanks in Advance.

As said by Alok , you can use win32 api's.

Or use CWindow::MessageBox[^].

Simple As you do in C++

If I use WTL::CHyperLink of HLINK_UNDERLINEHOVER style and handle the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message at the parent dialog, underlined text font is not reset to not underlined when the cursor is removed from the control. Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
