Hi,

I have a VC++(console)/ATL Script host app in which i create COM objects(say for Buttons) dynamically .I like to handle events for these Objects.Will it be possible for to handle events using IConnectionPoint/Sinks ?. Or this is possible only for in case of MFC app.Pls help me.Should i need to migrate from Console to MFC?

Thnks

Yes, it is possible to handle COM events in win32 console applications using ATL or raw C++.

What should I take as first step to implement this functionality.

Kindly guide/help me in the form of some code/link.

I'll be grateful to you.

How can I send a reference of an object in a event?

Hello!

What are the required steps in order to send a reference of an object through a event? Confused | :confused:

Thanks a lot in advance.

What kind of object? If the object is supported by COM universal marshal, then you can pass it using VARIANT. Otherwise, one solution is custom marshaling.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Here is what I intend to do: I have a Component with 2 Classes: ObjectSender and ObjectToBeSent. ObjectSender has one event: SendObject(IObjectToBeSent **pObject). My idea is to pass a reference of ObjectToBeSent to a Visual Basic client. However, when calling the Invoke method of the client, pVarResult returns an error; so the VB client does not execute its event handler.

In other words, I do not know how to send a reference of a COM object by using IDispatch::Invoke(). Can you please help me?

HRESULT Fire_SendObject()
{
...
CComVariant* pvars = new CComVariant[1];
CComObject<cobjecttobesent> *pObjectToBeSent;
IObjectToBeSent *pIObjectToBeSent;
CComObject<cobjecttobesent>::CreateInstance(&pObjectToBeSent);
pObjectToBeSent->QueryInterface(
IID_IObjectToBeSent, (void **)&pIObjectToBeSent);

....

for (nConnectionIndex = 0; nConnectionIndex < nConnections; nConnectionIndex++)
{
....
pvars[0] = pIObjectToBeSent;
pvars[0].vt = VT_UNKNOWN | VT_BYREF;
pvars[0].ppunkVal = (IUnknown **)&pIObjectToBeSent;
...
hr=pDispatch->Invoke(...) // This does not work
...
}
}

Thanks again for your kind attention.

What is the error code you mention? (The one you get from Invoke())

As long it's an interface pointer, the idl-generated marshalling should take care of it... right? Confused | :confused:

It depends on the type of data. Given that it is one of COM universally supported data types, then yes the universal marshal will take care of type conversion.

Just developed an ActiveX component in ATL, to download on some internet clients (throght signed CAB file and stuff). Problem is: some users have windows xp installed, and are logged on as users. The default configuraton for users on XP is:

1) they can't install ANYTHING on Downloaded Program Files
2) they can't register the components because they don't have WRITE permission to the registry.

How can I download my components now ?

I'M DOOMMED ! Mad | :mad:

I think I should move to Java applets...

Windows Installer which is a windows service is the only executable that has enough credentials to install something on a machine without root priviledge. So I guess you have to make a .msi setup.

But an administrator needs to give permissions on my .MSI. I'm deploying the component throught the internet.

Although it may be true that at some point if the machine is completely locked, it is impossible to install anything on it, usually a .msi file does work fine since it directly talks with Windows Installer which is running as a service. And the program gets installed on behalf of the Windows service.

Hi,everybody.
While I compiling my project writen in c++ with template ,I get a compile error c2975(vc++6.0),some error message like :
Compiling...
ChildView.cpp
..\ChildView.cpp(194) : error C2975: 'CXXTaskWorker' : invalid template argument for 'pdiid', constant expression expected

hmm, bad news for you - that would require dynamic template instantiation during the runtime. You have to realize, that the template types (piid and plibid in your cases) must be specified at compile time, that the compiler will be able to deduce the template.

e.g. the use in style
CXXTaskWorker< &IID_IUnknown, &LIBID_MyLib > worker;
is valid because compiler knows what types/constants have to use while building the template code.
while the 'same' case

<br />
const IID * piid = &(info->EventId);<br />
const GUID * plibid =&(info->TypeLib);<br />
<br />
CXXTaskWorker<piid, plibid> worker;

not being valid, because then the template parameters depends on some runtime value and this is not possible Frown | :-(

Yes,that's what i am wrong.as an alternative,I can use an extern variable to handle this problem.

STL - lower_bound() w/vector of pointers

I'm just learning STL. I have a vector of pointers to objects of a class I created. I'm trying to use lower_bound() and upper_bound(), but I don't see any way to specify how to compare my objects...the pointers are being compared instead. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks-

Patti
