How do i add an interface with CString as its parameter
i.e. HESULT Calc(CString)
Since CString is a mfc class ,the compiler cannot recognise CString defined in the .IDL file?
please help its urgent.

To use string use BSTR.
HRESULT Calc(BSTR strParam).

Jignesh is correct, the correct way to pass strings in COM is the hated BSTR.
There is a good article by Joseph Newcomer on CString that covers CString to BSTR to CString conversions very well. It is at:
http://www.pgh.net/~newcomer/cstring.htm#CString to BSTR

Why reinvent the wheel.
USES_CONVERSION;
A2OLE, OLE2A, A2BSTR, BSTR2A, etc...

I had an eariler issue dealing with DAO access causing a program to crash. Apparently installing MDAC and DAOSDK solves that issue. (thanks to those who helped on this matter ) However now I am noticing a problem with COM, more specifically MSFLEXGRID. I have a MSFLEXGRID control in the program and I am noticing that within the main window it is not showing up and within a dialog box it is causing the program to crash long before it paints.
Are there more installs that need to happen?
I noticed this all worked when I had VC++ installed.
Thanks!

how can i pass a map as a in parameter or out parameter ?
I need [out,retval] mymap and
[in] mymap something like this
how can i achieve this ?

YOu can't. At least not without some serious hacking. C++ specific entities such as maps, lists, etc. were never made to be passed across COM boundaries. You cannot define them sufficiently for MIDL to handle them.

Hi Guys,
I have been using ADO to execute queries asynchronisly. I am using adUserServer as Cursor location and adAsyncExecute flag to run the query using Recordset-->Open method.But the problem is if i cancel the query in between i get the following error:
Error No : 3712
Description: Opeartion has been cancelled by the user.
I don't understand why.
And if i use Command object's Execute method to run my query, then the query dosen't seems to run asynchrosnly.
Did anybody worked with ADO async queries?
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mukesh

Hypothetically,
if I wanted to pass pointers to CComPtr classes around, given that the & operator has an override to return the member pointer data, how would I get the address of the actual CComPtr class?
...and if there is an easy way to do this for a CComPtr, is there a general solution for classes that overide the & operator (i.e. some C++ syntax that has eluded me thus far)???
Any help appreciated...

I have a User control in a dll (that I created in C#). I've already created the type library and registered it as a global assembly. My question is, how do I actually use this control in VB6 or VC6? I've tried simply adding the ActiveX control using the project references in VB6, but it won't accept it (because it is not an ocx). Is there a way to actually reference the dll and add the user control on the fly?

I don't believe you can use something created with C# in VC6. The component needs the .NET CLR which VC^ knows nothing about.
You can use VC6 code in .NET by using using the managed/unmanaged facilities

I've recently written a shell extension that extracts the bitmap preview from AutoCAD drawing files and displays them when viewing folders as web pages. Everything works great except for one thing.
The problem is that when the folder is viewed as Thumbnails, the shell shows the same preview image for *all* DWG files in the folder (whichever one was last selected). At first, even refreshing the thumbnails didn't solve the problem so I modified my implementation of IExtractImage::GetLocation to enable shell caching. That only sort of works. The images are still the same but at least you can refresh them to get the correct preview.
Does anyone know what is causing this problem and how I may prevent it from occuring in the first place?

I'm working on an activex control that will sit in a webpage. I'm looking to add icons to me TreeView and am having trouble getting an ImageList set up.
So far I've done this:
CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ImageList,
NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IImageList,(void** &m_ImageList);
CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ListImages,
NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IImages,(void**)&m_Images);
Since I see that an ImageList needs the Image collection put into it, but then the Image Collection needs Images put into it and I have no idea how to set that up.
Anyone have any tips or links?

I cannot add a second interface (derived from IDispatch). I have a feeling I am doing something fundamentally wrong (like maybe it can't be done?).
Here is the code:
// TestDisp.idl : IDL source for TestDisp.dll
//
// This file will be processed by the MIDL tool to
// produce the type library (TestDisp.tlb) and marshalling code.
import "oaidl.idl";
import "ocidl.idl";

dual,
helpstring("IObj1 Interface"),
pointer_default(unique)
]
interface IObj1 : IDispatch
{
[id(1), helpstring("method FirstMethod")] HRESULT FirstMethod(BSTR Junk);
};
//Added:

Hi Dave,
You are deriving a new class from two other classes that both
implement IDispatch, therefore the compiler does not know which
one to use.
You can select which one should be implemented in your new class
in your COM_MAP by using COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY2 instead of COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY:
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IObj1)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY2(IDispatch, IObj2)
//COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IDispatch) // Removed
See the COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY2 docs.
Hope this helps (and it is the correct answer

Hi,
I'm writing a control to return a Picture Object for use with Visual Basic, but I'm having problems figuring out how to return the IPictureDisp in ATL. I have the IPictureDisp object but I don't know how to return the reference.
Can anyone offer suggestions or pointers to some example code on how to return the Picture Object? Any help/comments appreciated.
Thanks!

Why I need the UDP ?
i want to create something (Like OCX or DLL) to let the server send a message to the client(s) inform them to refresh ,redirect ,there is new email, XXX is logged on.
how i'm thinking to solve this problem?
create client OCX (without using the WinSock.OCX) to wait and manage the server message. and create an DLL on the server that will send the message to the Client OCX. (i think this is a good solution ?! do you think that ????!! )
What i want ?
i do not know how to write a code deal with UDP ?!
if you have another idea ?? i'll be pleased to you if you send it to me
Note : I’m talking about intranet.
Can any one there help me ? or give and any article(s) that could help ?!

Hi,
I am building OCX which uses other OCX files. I pack those in one CAB file, which should be distributed over intranet.
Each time I add a new functionality to my OCX file I change file version from 2.0.0.4 to 2.0.0.5 for example.
I include this version change in my INF file however, once i downloaded my control (2.0.0.4) on remote machine it is being loaded (the one with no 2.0.0.4 - even though i have 2.0.0.5 in a cab) every time i call this control but with HIGHER version number 2.0.0.5.
I tried to change my cab file name, and i place a new cab with newer control in deifferent directory. It does not work. I need to delete once installed control version say 2.0.0.4 from c:\winnt\downloaded program files in order to download and install newer version 2.0.0.5
Where is there a mistake ? I cannot expect client to clear registry in order to install newer version of control.
I would appreaciate any help.
thank you

How can I pass an IDispatch pointer into C++? My C++ method is expecting a <vector> of smart pointers (std::vector<xxptr<object>> ) to C++ objects. Since I am using a VB front-end, I pass a set of IDispatch pointers to ATL via the variant type.
Now, I am stuck with a set of IDispatch pointers to the objects and I don't know how to pass them into C++.
Any ideas?
thanks,
