You need to interrogate the control for its type information. This CodeProject article[^] has code that does that.

Hello,
I am trying to simulate a SONY TV remote control to our Set Top box's (STB) remote control.
We use Serial Communication to communicate between the TV and the STB. We are using SONY TV RS232C Control Protocol Manual to send information thru our remote to the SONY TV.
To ensure serial communication I have used a SerialPort class of Microsoft.
Now we know interfaces as Ethernet, FireWire, and USB all that send data as a serial stream, the term "serial port" usually identifies hardware more or less compliant to the RS-232 standard, intended to interface with a modem or with a similar communication device.
But the Control Protocol doc specifies that it is RS232C complaint?
Will the same class support the serial communication?
I ask that as I feel that there is an error in the communication between my remote and the SONY TV?

This SerialPort[^]? Yes, it refers to the RS232C you commonly get (or used to get) on PCs.
BTW - this forum is for COM[^] programming, not COM[^] programming...

Are you shure, that your cable has the right connections? Sometimes it is necessary to have some pins bridget inside the connectors. Is it a Control-S protocol we are talking about?

Can someone help with why if I can see my object in the ROT (via IROTVIEW.EXE), but when I call GetObject() it returns null.
private static Hashtable GetROT()
{
Hashtable result = new Hashtable();
IntPtr pnumFetched = IntPtr.Zero;
IRunningObjectTable runningObjectTable;
IEnumMoniker monikerEnumerator;
IMoniker[] monikers = new IMoniker[1];
Ole32.GetRunningObjectTable(0, out runningObjectTable);
runningObjectTable.EnumRunning(out monikerEnumerator);
monikerEnumerator.Reset();
while (monikerEnumerator.Next(1, monikers, pnumFetched) == 0)
{
IBindCtx ctx;
Ole32.CreateBindCtx(0, out ctx);
string runningObjectName;
monikers[0].GetDisplayName(ctx, null, out runningObjectName);
object runningObjectVal;
runningObjectTable.GetObject(monikers[0], out runningObjectVal);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(runningObjectName);
result[runningObjectName] = runningObjectVal;
}
return result;
}
|
|
|
|
|
What HRESULT does runningObjectTable.GetObject(monikers[0], out runningObjectVal); return? That generally sheds light on unexpected results...

The HResult returned was 0x80070005.
I also tried,
object retval = Marshal.GetActiveObject("MyNamespace.MyClass"); and the exception that got thrown was...
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled
Message="Operation unavailable (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401E3 (MK_E_UNAVAILABLE))"
Source="mscorlib"
ErrorCode=-2147221021
;
The return value for the call to register the object in the ROT was 65536. This value seems to be the same everytime.
int register = rot.Register((ROTFLAGS_REGISTRATIONKEEPSALIVE | ROTFLAGS_ALLOWANYCLIENT), pObj, moniker);

I think you'll find this is a token that identifies the running-object you've registered, which you pass into the IRunningObjectTable::Revoke method.
If your program registered the object and exited without revoking, then that could lead to the situation you describe, where IROTVIEW shows your object, but you can't reference it.

hi,
how can i write any text,value on bars using mschart
thanks

I explored this control so long ago, I'd forgotton what the object model was like, so, I GOOGLED, and found this over at MSDN: MSChart Control Objects Listed Alphabetically[^]. Unfortunately, the code is Visual Basic, but, it gives you the specifics of the object model hierarchy.
You could use Dumpbin to determine the exported function prototype, and the rest would be fairly simple.

I have a Windows Serviced written in .Net which creates an instance of a comvisible class on start up of the service. In the constructor of this class, it tries to register this instance on the running object table with the ROTFLAGS_ALLOWANYCLIENT flag.
I read, in order for a ROT registration with ROTFLAGS_ALLOWANYCLIENT to succeed, the following registry entries must be present:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\app.exe] "AppID"="{APPIDGUID}"
What I like to ask is who creates this appid guid or where can I find it in the project?
I am getting the below error and cannot understand why. I tried installing the service as account type LocalSystem, LocalService & User and still got the same result...
Service cannot be started. System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004015): The class is configured to run as a security id different from the caller (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004015)
I am unclear as to what other registry entries I need to make to get this to work.
Any help is appreciated.

This blog post[^] looks informative.

I have seen this article and have tried getting dcomcnfg.exe to create it. I loaded it up but didn't see any prompt asking if I want to create an appid for my exe. I also didn't see it listed there after it's finished loading up.

This Google groups thread[^] may be informative.
In addition - I created an ATL service project, just to see what ATL would have for that - it contained the definition of the AppID, which it would put in the registry as necessary - that kind of says your executable needs to do that.

Thanks Stuart for your responses. I have also seen this article and have followed it and created a MyRegisterObject function and still isn't clear to me this AppID guid I need.
I have created my windows service in .Net and therefore not sure where to find this appid. I tried entering the assembly guid and the object's (the one I want to register on the ROT) guid for the {APPIDGUID} value and that didn't help.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\app.exe] "AppID"="{APPIDGUID}"
Just to clarify, I have a Windows Service project written in .Net, it also contains a class made to be comvisible. On start up of the service, I create an instance of this class. In the constructor of this class, I try to register this instance on the running object table with the ROTFLAGS_ALLOWANYCLIENT flag.

Yeah, I understand all that - I'm just finding it difficult to work out what the implications of that are when mixed in with services, user permissions, the running object table etc

This seems to work...
I picked a new guid (via guidgen.exe) and then followed this article in creating the necessary windows registry and that seems to registered the object in the ROT.

Hi,
I am facing a problem with compilation order of .idl files in Visual Studio 2005.
My project contain 2 .idl files. When I build the project, sometimes the compilation sequence of these files vary.
I have observed that, when I build application 1st time on a clean machine, order of compiling .idl is different. and after that, on every rebuild the files complier compiles in alphabetical order of filenames.
Which factor decides the build sequence of files in visual studio 2005?
Can we forcefully define the order of building the .idl files? (i.e. specific file must be compiled before/after another)
Please help...

Easiest thing I can think of (and it's reasonably easy, I guess) would be to rename the file and use a custom build rule (which would just be the MIDL command-line - make sure you copy that before you rename the file). You then specify outputs so that VS knows what it builds, and you can specify additional dependencies, i.e. the things which need to have been built from your other MIDL file.

Hi,
I developed a webservice with a web method integrating with Microsoft office project and it reads all the tasks and resources inside it with the help of the DCOM 'Microsfot project basic'. It is working fine when i hosted it in IIS in XP but having the issue while hosting in IIS windows server 2003. I am getting the following error when i open the file and it get resolved after giving the enough permission in DCOM security and restart the server but it was avail only for the first time, when i tested it for the second time that shows me the same error.
Given below the error, Kinldy help me out in this.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Call was rejected by callee. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010001 (RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED))

i use an activex in my source code, but i worry about replacing it. i thought use 2 activex witch one of them check the other but i'm not sure this way is the best even i'm not sure it has a differ!
please help me and tell benefits ans its benefits and galls.
thx
|
|
|
|
|
You should clarify the question,...I found it confusing.
What kind of application is the source code for? Is this a website? Why replace the ActiveX control? And what is the security issue? Is this a networking security issue? You should be more specific, as none of us here know what context you are operating under.
|
|
|
|
|
sorry, you're right.
we produce a hardware lock which use an activex for checking, setting & getting information on lock.
now i'm searching for a way which make replacing activex more difficult.
thx
