Re: C++ COM and VB Philip Patrick10-Apr-02 3:36 Philip Patrick 10-Apr-02 3:36  Yeah, found it too. The problem was *laughs* I dunno why, but VB treats Long and Integer as a different types, and int in C++ is actually Long in VB.... I'd say this is very strange, don't see any logic, lol Philip Patrick Web-site: www.saintopatrick.com "Two beer or not two beer?" Shakesbeer Need Web-based database administrator? You already have it! Hi, Mazdak, I still have a question here chq129-Apr-02 10:35 chq12 9-Apr-02 10:35  Hi, Mazdak: I am still some confused about how to access object from other objects. For example, I want to biuld two objects, one is used to access database ( some private variables such as _connentionPtr _CommandPtr were used), another used to implement rules. But how to realize it. How to pass pointer such as _ConnectionPtr, _CommandPtr from data access object to rules realization object. If you are convinient, can you send me some examples by email. I am a new learner and find it is very difficult to find such exmaples in website. Thank you very much for your consideration.

I have sample code that work with ADO objects in a COM object,and pass from client to server.Yuo can tell me your email to send it for you. If you want to use first COM object in second one use CreateInstance() in the Method you to use it and create first object in second one and here you can access to Methods and properties of first object.Imagine second COM object as a simple client application and first one is a regular COM onject. You can pass _ConnectionPtr,_CommandPtr as parameter I don't THINK there is limitation for it,whats your problem for that? Again use CreateInstance() to initialize them and pass it to COM object.In my application I pass strings to COM object and use those strings for _ConnectionPtr or _CommandPtr ,I think this really safer and better than passig the _ConnectionPtr and _CommandPtr themselves. I think its waste time and codes to create two object and use one for only pass those objects,you can pass simple strings and use them in one object.

I think I can use parameter to transfer _ConnectionPtr and _CommandPtr. I want to this because i want to create a database access object which including method to get conncetion with database and some common used method such as create a parameter,then other objects can access it to get connection with database. So it is much easier to extend program and mantain it.

Qiang My ASP Component freezes the IIS hAMMER tHE mADdOG8-Apr-02 23:19 hAMMER tHE mADdOG 8-Apr-02 23:19  dear someone, I wrote a ActiveX Server Component using ATL in VC6. It was meant for and intranet mailing system and was supposed to read and write my own email files(.eml). When I test the COMp using an MFC exe, everything works fine..., but when I test the same with ASP script, it works fine for the first 2 times. Then the web service is stopped and the Management Console gets frozen. I tried using the CCriticalSection's lock and unlock. I also tried by terminating the FILE I/O in the OnEndPage function. The same component works fine if I am not letting it to read or write to any FILE. As I am a novice in COM, I would like to know how and where exaclty the problem is.... Please help me sort out this problem at the earliest...n' i'LL BE VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU hAmMeR tHe MaDdOg tHe pArAnOiDaL pRogRaMmEr Re: My ASP Component freezes the IIS 14-Apr-02 20:35 14-Apr-02 20:35  I also tried the ATL, ASP Component for Search Engine in that i had experience that ATL Component is not freeing the memory after using it in ASP Script. So as many times you use component it is unable to free memory although your OnStartPage and OnEndPage works happily. For that check out the TaskManager in that dllhost or inetinfo.exe takes lot of memory. ravi COM book recommendations? moliate8-Apr-02 6:39 moliate 8-Apr-02 6:39  Looking for a good book on COM. The ideal book would be on a slightly higher level than Inside COM (Rogerson) and would give a thorough description of the apartment models and marshalling. It would also be nice with something on COM with ATL (another book?). Thought about Inside OLE 2 (Brookschmidt). Is that one still of immediate interest? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks /moliate Re: COM book recommendations? Joao Vaz9-Apr-02 0:10 Joao Vaz 9-Apr-02 0:10  Definitely, Learning Dcom from OReilly is what you want, very good explainations of com apartment models, marshaling , pure com and MFC and ATL programming, after thisyou can try the atl books. Check my aswer to Nish about the other books that I recommend: http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?forumid=1159&select=96575&tid=96534#xx96575xx">http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?forumid=1159&select=96575&tid=96534#xx96575xx Learning Dcom amazon link Note1: Don't consider the bad reviews, are just no sense, the book is good , it's easier to understand than the bible on COM "Essential COM" by Don Box. I own 8+/- books on COM and ATL and I assure you for what you are asking you are not going to be disappointed !

The current situation is: both the vb code and the dll using the same database (out of necessity), each connecting separately. I would like to let vb create an open ado database connection (supply it a connection string and go .open), then have the vb code pass the open connection COM object (or a pointer to it?) to the C++ dll. Cheers, Dave Re: COM object passing Sam Strachan10-Apr-02 3:16 Sam Strachan 10-Apr-02 3:16  Ok, I've not tried this, but import the ADO type library doing something like this... #import "c:/program files/common files/system/ado/msado15.dll" no_namespace rename("EOF", "EndOfFile") Then you need an input parameter to hold the pointer to it. I suppose you could use an IUnknown pointer, but then why not just use a _Connection pointer instead (you'll see it at the top of the msado15.tlh). So, in your IDL should be a line like... [id(2), helpstring("method GetField")] HRESULT GetField([in] _Connection * pAdoCn, [in] BSTR bsFieldname, [out, retval] BSTR * pbsVal); Then you can just use that pointer. (Attach the COM Smart Pointer to it though and your life will be easier... ConnectionPtr.Attach(...)) In the event that that doesn't work though, try it with IUnknown * pUnk instead, then do a QueryInterface() on it, passing the Connection Interface to it. Good luck, S Re: COM object passing el davo10-Apr-02 19:24 el davo 10-Apr-02 19:24  I am trying the first _Connection method you suggest, so what should i pass from the vb side? If i implemented your suggestion, would the vb side be something like this? dim fred as new adodb.connection fred.open blah blah blah somestring = getfield(fred, anotherstring) Cheers, Dave Re: COM object passing Sam Strachan10-Apr-02 22:36 Sam Strachan 10-Apr-02 22:36  Dave, Yes, that should do the trick. If it fails then you have a few options including... 1) Making it IUnknown in C++ then in VB do this dim fred as new adodb.connection dim oFred as Object fred.open blah blah blah set oFred = fred somestring = getfield(oFred, anotherstring) (Set in VB is much akin to QueryInterface in C++) 2) Make it a Variant in C++ containing either IUnknown or IDispatch then do the same as above but Dim oFred as a Variant instead. I haven't done exactly this before (I've done it with my own custom objects) but the principal should be the same. Also, make sure that you do a _Connection.AddRef() at the beginning and .Release() at the end of your processing in C++ as you will be a COM Client in this case. Not doing this may yield all sorts of nastiness if VB decides it can let go of the Connection in the mean time. Good luck, Sam ITextDocument??? UGH!!! Dave_7-Apr-02 12:36 Dave_ 7-Apr-02 12:36  This may not be a true COM question, but I am trying every source I can find to try to solve this one: I am completely frustrated! I have read from several sources, that you can use the GetIRichEditOle() function to get to the ITextDocument interface for a CRichEditCtrl. I am using VC 6, and the RichEdit version looks like it is 3.0. I am using the following code: ITextDocument *pTextDoc = NULL; IRichEditOle * ire = m_RichEdit.GetIRichEditOle(); if ((ire == NULL) || (ire->QueryInterface(IID_ITextDocument, (void**) &pTextDoc) != S_OK) || (pTextDoc == NULL)){ DWORD dwErr = GetLastError(); if (ire != NULL) ire->Release(); TRACE("Failed ITextDoc\n"); } The pTextDoc is always NULL. The GetLastError() returns 0. I have also tried the method specified in MSDN, but it fails also. The method they use is very similar to the above code, so that's no surprise. I am getting desperate! I need to get the ITextDocument interface to do some things like set the line spacing. Please, if anyone knows how to do this, let me know.
