You really need to show the exceptions, rather than hoping people can guess what they are.

Hi,

I followed Microsoft Knoweldge base Article 178749

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/178749[^]

To create and an Automation When I got the Class wizard I selected Create Class from typelib

I the selcted the excel.exe

The Wizard create a number of Class I slected to include all of them in my project

After getting a Clean build I decided to add some ole code

create excel

So I included "CAppliction.h"

I coded CApplication app;
app.CreateDispatch("EXCEL APPLICATION");

however I got a whole slew of build errors

example
c:\users\4rypb\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\autoproject\autoproject\debug\excel.tlh(1595): error C2371: 'FontPtr' : redefinition; different basic types
1> c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\comdef.h(314) : see declaration of 'FontPtr'

or
c:\users\4rypb\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\autoproject\autoproject\capplication.h(3): warning C4278: 'RGB': identifier in type library 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office14\\EXCEL.EXE' is already a macro; use the 'rename' qualifier

Am I mssing some include ?

The doc says include excel8.h

but I dont see that included generated

Thanks

there's going to be different headers eg excel8.h, for different versions of Excel - you've already said you're using Excel 2010, so, an alarm bell goes off in my head straight away on that score ...

as to the rest, its been a long time since Ive needed to do this, but I found this article here in CP that may give you some more (and definately) better guidance ..

Automating Excel 2007 and creating charts using C++ MFC application in Visual Studio 2008[^]

(before you shoot me down in flames, please have a look at the article - it suggests it should be good for Excel 2010 as well, else I wouldnt have posted it)

Hi,
i have implemented two interfaces in
class CSampleProvider : public ICredentialProvider,public ICredentialProviderSetUserArray
{
....

STDMETHOD (QueryInterface)(REFIID riid, void** ppv)
    {
        HRESULT hr;
        if (IID_IUnknown == riid ||
            IID_ICredentialProvider == riid || IID_ICredentialProviderSetUserArray )
        {
            *ppv = this;
            reinterpret_cast<IUnknown*>(*ppv)->AddRef();
            hr = S_OK;

            hr = E_NOINTERFACE;
        }
        return hr;
    }

........

};

it is building with out errors .but when i execute dll logonui is
crashing .how can implement two interfaces in one class please help me

You need to trace to the point of the error and show the code that crashes and the reason.

Hi,

Problem is this
|| IID_ICredentialProviderSetUserArray when i call IID_ICredentialProviderSetUserArray interface through Quareyinterface dll is crashing without implementing ICredentialProviderSetUserArray interface dll is working is fine .

thanks

I'm sorry, but no one can guess what your code is doing to cause the crash. As I said before, use your debugger to trace through it and identify exactly what is happening.

Please format your code properly between <pre> tags, like:

C++

STDMETHOD_(ULONG, Release)()
{
    LONG cRef = _cRef--;
    if (!cRef)
    {
        delete this;
    }
    return cRef;
}

Richard MacCutchan19-Jun-13 4:05

C++

if (IID_IUnknown == riid || 
    IID_ICredentialProvider == riid ||
    IID_ICredentialProviderSetUserArray)
{

Do you see something missing here?

hi,
ok but that is not problem when i called ICredentialProviderSetUserArray ==riid probblem is occurring
if (IID_IUnknown == riid ||
IID_ICredentialProvider == riid ||
IID_ICredentialProviderSetUserArray ==riid)
{

You really need to do this[^]. Without a lot more information about what is actually happening at the time of the crash it's anyone's guess.

Richard, Venkatesh

Are you certain that the old object is not getting out of scope when you create new. When you create multiple objects, chances are that you are not maintaining reference counts correctly so there is a small chance that object is actually removed or marked for removal when client attempts to access ...

As Richard quotes, this is my best guess Smile | :)

The issue might lie in this statement:
*ppv = this;

Because you use a C-cast to type void*, type information is lost. The pointer does not point to the correct virtual table of the interface that you want to return.

Try the following instead:

C++

STDMETHOD (QueryInterface)(REFIID riid, void** ppv)
{
    HRESULT hr;
    if (IID_ICredentialProviderSetUserArray == riid)
    {
        *ppv = dynamic_cast<ICredentialProviderSetUserArray>( this );
        reinterpret_cast<IUnknown*>(*ppv)->AddRef();
        hr = S_OK;
    }
    else if (IID_IUnknown == riid ||
        IID_ICredentialProvider == riid )
    {
        *ppv = dynamic_cast<ICredentialProvider>( this );
        reinterpret_cast<IUnknown*>(*ppv)->AddRef();
        hr = S_OK;
    }
    else
    {
        *ppv = NULL;
        hr = E_NOINTERFACE;
    }
    return hr;
}
