The first parameter for CLSIDFromProgID has to be the PROGID
Like for MS-Word, the PROGID is "Word.Application.9"
You can get PROGID from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
BTW what is the error you are getting ?
You can see the error using the API GetLastError()
Have fun !
Cheers,
Vishal

Hi
what visahlmore was written is quite correct. but to describe more, I should note that ClassID is assigned to a class not an activex while an activex file can have one or more classes to export.
Usually the class is named like "ActiveXName.ClassName" exactly the same string that you should use in CreateObject API to make an instance of the class.
You can easily also find the class id in the following address in registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ActiveXName.ClassName\CLSID

I have a project that uses a ActiveX that refers to a COM object, this project is runing on a server and the ActiveX should be downloaded onto the client. This does not work, but if I copy my COM project over to the client and compile it there the project on the server functions great.
My questing is this....
What do I have to do to register the COM project on the client(whithout copying the project and compiling it)

You need to register it on the client machine using a simple line of code.
just try to run regsvr32.exe /s "LocalActiveXFile" on the clinet machine to register the ActiveX and then easily use it.
Hint:
When you compile a COM component, the compiler automatically does the registeration process which is done simply by running the line of code I introduced.
Hope it was helpful

Hello Friends,
What is the difference between ActiveX Component and COM Component?

They are one and the same thing! You probably wanted to ask this:
What is the difference between ActiveX Control and COM Component?
A Control is a COM object with a set of standard interfaces as defined by COM standard for a Control. If a COM object supports all the required interfaces as defined by Microsoft for a Control, then it is a Control.

I am trying to load this dll in my VC++/MFC class using COM. However, it generates error in the generated .tlh file. This is what i did. I import the dll in stdafx.h and insert the following on a button control.
HRESULT hresult;
CLSID clsid;
CoInitialize(NULL); //initialize COM library
hresult=CLSIDFromProgID(OLESTR("Techno.Servo"), &clsid); //retrieve CLSID of component
_Servo *t;
hresult=CoCreateInstance(clsid,NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,__uuidof(_Servo),(LPVOID *) &t);
if(FAILED(hresult))
{
AfxMessageBox("Creation Failed");
return;
}
t->MOVE(); //call method
t->Release(); //call method
CoUninitialize(); //Unintialize the COM library
Can anyone please tell me where the error is?

I am having a simple COM object (COM wrapper) in C#. I register the object for COM Interop by using regasm and gacutil /i (.Net Command Prompt).
I am able to call my COM object from classic COM capable applications.
My question is if I want to update my COM object, it seems to me that I have to reboot my machine before the updated COM object works. If I don't reboot the machine, the COM capable applications still reference my old COM object. Is there a way to update COM object (COM wrapper) without restart the machine?
Note: I can not use Cofiguration Properties->Register for COM Interop (VS.NET 2003) because I need to deploy my COM object to my production server.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Are you un-registering and removing the old com wrapper from the GAC first? (gacutil /u , regasm /u)? Note that if there are outstanding references gacutil /u will fail and echo the reference count.

This is what I did for register my new version of COM wrapper.
1. gacutil /u xxx
2. delete the dll and tlb files on one location. (Note: most of the time, windows won't allow me to delete the tlb file, so tlb file couldn't updated. Therefore, I will create a new directory, and register in the new directory)
3. regasm xxx.dll /tlb:xxx.tlb
4. gacutil /i xxx.dll
I check the GAC, etc. Every things updated. But when I use SQL Server, TSQL to access my COM wrapper, the COM wrapper is not my new version.
One question is do I have to use regasm /u also??
Thank YOu for your reply.

if you are changing the type library, yes.

Actually I need to stop the SQL server in order to update my COM wrapper.
Therefore, everythings work now.

Hi ,
I need to show only selected activeX controls in a list box of a dialog.
Are there any API's to do so. I came across some demo applications which show all registered MFC activeX controls but not the one which shows only user-defined.
Is there any way out ?
