It looks very much like you're not including the header that defines the IHTMLEditDesigner interface. It's in mshtmlc.h. But don't forget that you need to derive your own class from IHTMLEditDesigner. Mine looks like this:
class CMSHTMLDisableDragHTMLEditDesigner : public IHTMLEditDesigner
{
public:
virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE
QueryInterface(REFIID riid, void __RPC_FAR *__RPC_FAR *ppvObject);
virtual ULONG STDMETHODCALLTYPE
AddRef(void);
virtual ULONG STDMETHODCALLTYPE
Release(void);
virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE
PreHandleEvent(DISPID inEvtDispId, IHTMLEventObj *pIEventObj);
virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE
PostHandleEvent(DISPID inEvtDispId, IHTMLEventObj *pIEventObj);
virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE
TranslateAccelerator(DISPID inEvtDispId, IHTMLEventObj *pIEventObj);
virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE
PostEditorEventNotify(DISPID inEvtDispId, IHTMLEventObj *pIEventObj);
CMSHTMLDisableDragHTMLEditDesigner();
BOOL Attach(IHTMLDocument2 *pDoc);
void Detach();
private:
IHTMLEditServices *m_pServices;
UINT m_uRefCount;
CMSHTMLDisableDragIDispatch m_dp;
};
And with appropriate code in each of the members.

Hi Rob, It was being caused by improper inclusion. I jumped the gun while reading the article and didn't bother to read the fine print when adding the includes directories... 
I'm really good at that 
I have another quick question if don't mind...
I have that CView which has an embedded IWebBrowser2 (copying CHtmlView) and I would like to embed a IHTMLEditDesign as well.
Can I not use a BEGIN_EVENTSINK_MAP approach like CHtmlView does to just wrap IWebBrowser2 events but for IHTMLEditDesign as well...?
Thanks again
How do I print my voice mail?

Nope. I did it like this.
My view class has an embedded variable of type CMSHTMLDisableDragHTMLEditDesigner (see previous reply) called m_designer. In the OnDocumentComplete() handler for the view I do this.
.
.
.
CHtmlEditView::OnDocumentComplete(lpszURL);
m_pDoc = (IHTMLDocument2 *) GetHtmlDocument();
m_designer.Detach();
m_designer.Attach(m_pDoc);
.
.
.
The Attach() looks like this.
BOOL CMSHTMLDisableDragHTMLEditDesigner::Attach(IHTMLDocument2 *pDoc)
{
if (m_pServices != (IHTMLEditServices *) NULL)
m_pServices->Release();
IServiceProvider *pTemp;
if (pDoc == (IHTMLDocument2 *) NULL)
return FALSE;
pDoc->QueryInterface(IID_IServiceProvider, (void **) &pTemp);
if (pTemp != (IServiceProvider *) NULL)
{
if (pTemp->QueryService(SID_SHTMLEditServices, IID_IHTMLEditServices, (void **) &m_pServices) == S_OK)
{
if (m_pServices != (IHTMLEditServices *) NULL)
{
m_pServices->AddDesigner(this);
return TRUE;
}
}
}
return FALSE;
}
and the Detach() looks like this.
void CMSHTMLDisableDragHTMLEditDesigner::Detach()
{
if (m_pServices != (IHTMLEditServices *) NULL)
m_pServices->RemoveDesigner(this);
}
What this does is attach your edit designer to the document. MSHTML then calls the various member functions of the edit designer at the appropriate times. No eventsink involved.
I hope this helps

I just spent the last several hour trying to figure out why this approach wouldn't work and still haven't figured out why...
Why is it that approach will work for IWebBrowser2 and not IHTMLEditDesign...
How are either interfaces different? They both fire events when appropriate...
Can you shed some light on this subject for me?
Thanks again, you've been a big help

Nope, the IHTMLEditDesign interface doesn't fire events. It 'sinks' them if you want to think of it that way. But I find it better to think of it as a set of callbacks similar to, for example, the callbacks you get from something like EnumFonts. Don't let the fact that the interface is derived from IUnknown sidetrack you into thinking of the entire COM event source/sink plumbing.

Hi again Rob, I hope you don't mind me asking you this directly rather than first posting my question, but...
The IHTMLEditDesign doesn't fire events....that I kind of understand I think...As far as I can tell (now that i've read a little more on the subject) It doesn't have support for IConnectionPoint for outgoing sinks either. Thats why an IHTMLEditDesign requires an edit designer to be a COM object and instead of using sinks you notify the IHTMLEditDesign of a designers existence using AddDesigner() and remove designer so you can dynamically add or remove addon functionality from any IWebBrowser2...like if you used a sink you would use the Advise() function instead?
Am I correct in thinking this way?
The single example from MSDN i've been playing with had me confused for a while because I believe (inless I seen or understood wrong) it registers itself/application as a COM server...and the code snippet you provided previosuly doesn't suggest this is nessecary...
Thanks alot

It's the other way around. You create an IHTMLEditDesigner object somehow (it need not be a COM object in the sense of being createable via CoCreateInstance). You then notify the document object (via the AddDesigner() method) that it should pass editor events to your object. It's just a souped up way of setting a callback.
In my code I implemented the designer as a c++ class derived from IHTMLEditDesigner because those are the rules (AddDesigner() wants to see something derived from IHTMLEditDesigner). But the instance of the class that I pass to the document object (incidentally I use IHTMLDocument2 rather than IWebBrowser2) is statically created as a member variable in my view class.
For what it's worth, I think the MSDN samples are needlessly complex.

Hi all
This whole day i suffer to catch bug in my program and still
hadn't solution.
I had some method which turn out array of bytes in VARIANT
VARIANT GetVTFromByteArray(LPBYTE pBuf,long bufSize)
{
/*
First i create SAFEARRAY and sometimes it failed (not all time )
*/
SAFEARRAY* pSA = NULL;
SAFEARRAYBOUND saBound = {bufSize,0};
pSA = SafeArrayCreate(VT_UI1,1,&saBound);
ASSERT(pSA);
//pSA return not NULL ;go forth
long z;
HRESULT hr = SafeArrayGetUBound(pSA,1,&z);
/*
String above its just a test whats all fine BUT
this routine sometime return mee 0x80070057 'The parameter not incorect' what very weired to me.
Anytime this workout fine its weired too much .
*/
....
....
}
Where trouble here???Please give me opinion if you got one.
Thanks a lot.

I am working with an InProc OLE Server that was created in Visual C++ v6.0 with the ATL COM Appwizard.
I created a new Composite Control and simply tried to add the MSFlexGrid ActiveX control. The Flex Grid is added and displays fine when the Composite Control is instantiated through the ActiveX Control Test Container (or other application).
The problem comes when trying to access the members of the Flex Grid. The CWnd::InvokeHelper method ASSERTs at the following line:
ASSERT(m_pCtrlSite != NULL); // not an OLE control (not yet, at least)
Here's the body of the InitInstance method of my DLLs App class:
{<br />
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());<br />
AfxEnableControlContainer();<br />
_Module.Init(ObjectMap, m_hInstance, &LIBID_TESTCOMASCONTAINERLib);<br />
return CWinApp::InitInstance();<br />
}<br />
Here's the body of the Composite Control's Message Handler for WM_INITDIALOG:
{<br />
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());<br />
m_wThis.Attach(*m_phWndCD);<br />
m_ctlFlexGrid.SubclassDlgItem(IDC_MSFLEXGRID1, &m_wThis);<br />
<br />
m_ctlFlexGrid.SetRows(5);<br />
<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />
The SetRows method is what calls InvokeHelper. According to the MSDN documentation (e.g "...These types of controls are called composite controls because they are able to host other controls (native Windows controls and ActiveX controls)....") a composite control should be able to contain an ActiveX control.
What am I missing here? Do I need an additional AfxEnableControlContainer() call somewhere in my Composite Control's implementation? Do I simply have the style settings wrong in the Dialog Resource?
Any help or guidance is appreciated... Thanks.

I'm developing an ActiveX component, which is used on web pages. When user enters a page page, the ActiveX is loaded and when the user moves to another page, the activeX component terminates.
However when user goes to another page, I must be able to transfer some data from the current instance of the ActiveX component to the next instance of it.
I'm currently using cookies for this, but that is not a good solution for various reasons. What other ways are there to transfer the data?  Is there some windows interface (servic) which I can use to temporarly store data, so that the data can then later be picked up by another ActiveX instance.

Why can't you use local file? Temporary folder maybe good place...
You can also overload OnFinalRelease or add extra LoadLibrary, so instance of your control or module will continue to stay in memory, even after IE Document Releases it...
Also, as I recall CoFreeUnusedLibraries implemented by MSFT has a delay unload time of about 10 minutes -- so you can just use that -- your module stays in memory for 10 minutes, even after last instance of your control is realeased. So, you can use that by storing shared data as a static data or member of CWinApp class...
Also, you can implement your own DllCanUnloadNow(void) -- just return S_FALSE -- that will guarantee that your module will stay in memory forever...
"...Ability to type is not enough to become a Programmer. Unless you type in VB. But then again you have to type really fast..."

The static member idea seems like a good choice (tested, and seems to work). I'll still have to test the other ideas.
But, thank you...

Hi there,
I have created a COM component using C++ which is already installed on my system and is being used by few applications.
I want to know what issues i'll have to consider if I wish to have this same DLL with a different name on my system.
I mean if I rename this DLL and install it , apart from changing the CLSID , ProgId what all things I'll need to change in this DLL if I wish to have both my DLL's to be registered on my system.
Any thoughts?
Thank You.
Have a nice day!

If you want side-by-side, then you need to regenerate all the UUIDs in the IDL file, change the progids and interface names (don't forget the information in the RGS file).
Why would you want both?
If you want to change behaviour, just add a new interface that derives from the old one (for backward compatibility, and the fact that interfaces are considered immutable once 'published').

Thanx.
Actually I am a new to COM technology... by this question I wanted to get some of my doubts clear.
I totally agree with what you said regarding "change behaviour".
Now I think i got to know what i wanted.
Actually had thought about what u said but wanted to confirm from someone more experienced and am now satisfied after your answer.
Thank you once again.
Have a nice day!

hi,
I have a COM in VB. How do I use it in C++
thanks

|

You can use the Class Wizzard and import from a Type Library. This should generate the appropriate classes for you in C++ that will inherit from COleDispatchDriver. You will need to make sure you call CreateDispatch when you create an instance of the object in C++. Check MSDN for more details.

hi!
I have developed a DCOM component server with ATL but now, how can i registeter it on a client?
Thanks in advance.

hi!
I know yet how to register the DLL. If there is somebody with this problem this is a very little tuto:
On the server machine
1.- register the server program:
c:\> remoteServer -regserver
where remoteServer is the name of the EXE server.
2.- register the proxy/stub DLL:
c:\> REGSVR32 remoteServerps.dll
On the cliente machine
1.- Copy RemoteServerps.dll on the client machine
2.- Register the proxy/stub DLL:
c:\> REGSVR32 remoteServerps.dll
ok, with these steps my DCOM application runs ok but i'm not sure if is this the best way to do the registration. Are there any other possibilities ?
thank you in advance!!

Hi
1.Register your component under the component services (MTS)
2.Use the export operation in order to create proxy\stub setup file
3.Install the file in the client machine

Hello !!
I want to convert an object I designed as a custom control in Visual C++ in a ActiveX version. This object is a chart that can display high speed data.
I succesfully converted the control but the problem is for adding new points: I don't want to redraw the complete control (this takes toooooo much time) so I want to get the dc of the control, use a transparent background and plot the line (or point). But this doesn't work if I call the COleControl::GetDC member function (default parameters).
How can I get a dc whenver I want ?? (so, not when OnDraw is called).
And if someaone could send me some example of ActiveX controls this would be great: this is the first time I design ActiveX and this project is REALLY urgent 
Thanks a lot for any help (any clue, hints, ... are really welcome  )
|
|
|
|
|
Ok !
I've found the solution !
In fact, I added a Method to add these points and I tested the control in the ActiveX control test container. I was invoking the method inside the application. But this seems to work differently... Don't know why 
For example if I call this inside my control on a mouse down message,everything works fine...
Why ????

I'm considering building an MMC (Microsoft Management Console) snap-in. The only information I've found for doing so is the Feb 2003 Platform SDK, where the C++ examples are still from VS6. The VB6 designer for MMC is long gone, and the ATL wizard for MMC was removed from VS.NET (I've heard rumors it was buggy). Which leaves me with the old guts and glory style of raw C++ COM programming. Given the examples in the SDK, that kind of adventure is OK provided there's a real future for MMC.
Does anybody know if Longhorn will still use MMC? Will ATL get a new MMC wizard in Whidbey? Any rumors from Microsoft? Are there any good newsgroups for MMC?
Any hints will help me here - Thanks,
Richard
