I think you are getting class id here.
Call, ::Coinitialize(NULL) before it.

hrStatus = CoCreateInstance(

What is value of hrstatus here?

You need to link Ole232.lib.

Doesn't matter.

BTW, you haven't answered my second question , about value of hresult.

Your code is hard to read. What is the HRESULT returned? Try entering "hr, hr" in your debugger watch window, assuming the variable containing the HRESULT returned from CoCreateInstance is named "hr". If it was named "MyHr" you'd use the following string: "MyHr, hr".

if( SUCCEEDED(hrStatus) )

//
// Create the object and initialize it.
//

hrStatus = CoCreateInstance(
clsControl,
NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IControl,
reinterpret_cast<lpvoid *="">(&m_pControl)

Put a break point directly after the CoCreateInstance call you're having problems with. When the break point is hit add the following to the watch window: "hrStatus, hr". If all goes well your debugger will tell you what the problem is.

Hello,

I’ve developed ATL Control using VC++ 2003 to use it as GUI component for different programming environments. It works fine with .NET and Borland builder, but when I try to use it with VB6 or VC++6 I got ‘Permission denied’ error. It happened when I call ::GetClientRect(m_hWnd, &ClientRect) function, where m_hWnd is a private member of this control (handle of control’s window). What’s wrong? How to fix it?

PowerPoint effects: How to figure out a current effect name within SlideShowNextBuild event handler?

wasek20014-Dec-06 2:51

Hello,

here is a function's signatures for 2 PowerPoint effects event handlers:
SlideShowNextClick(SlideShowWindow Wn,Effect ef)
The effect onNextClick is ef.

SlideShowNextBuild(SlideShowWindow Wn)
What is a current executed effect??

At the moment I have next implementation:

1. By handle SlideShowNextClick store next effect name ("xyz").
2. By handle SlideShowNextBuild execute my bussiness logic (for effect "xyz").

The problem occurs if the current slide has more than 1 effect on page and "go back" button will be used. ==> I can't catch "goback"-event, thus I can't be sure that my stored "NextEffect" is a next effect realy.

Is it possible to get number/name of current executed effect directly in SlideShowNextBuild handler?

Many thanks for your help.

Activex GUI project

Hi I am a newbie with COM & ActiveX and would like to ask for some advice.

I'm developing a GUI for real time systems, written in ANSI C and C++, it will provide drawing functions, a windowing system, widgets, bitmaps etc.

I want to add a possibility to use it aswell as an ActiveX control, so people can create a VisualC++ project and develop on it as a way of simulating the real hardware. So the ActiveX control should display what at the end will be seen in a real screen running the GUI in an embedded real time system.

Any hints on the best way to do this? I am just starting my research on ActiveX possibilities. My first thought is to use an ActiveX dialog with a picture control on it the size of the real screen. Then make it get the picture content from a memory area provided by the container application. When the container changes that memory, changes should be displayed in the ActiveX picture. Should the picture control be a bitmap or a "owner draw" type? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanx!!

Hi~

I am programming a customized web browser with IWebBrowser2 in windows ce 5.0
And I want to embody some functions which copy/cut/paste.

I made it in Win32 Application already..
Using by these ways

Way1
HRESULT hr = m_pWeb->ExecWB(
OLECMDID_COPY, OLECMDEXECOPT_DODEFAULT, NULL, NULL);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
int n = GetLastError();
ASSERT(false);
}

Way2
IHTMLDocument2 *pHtmlDoc;
hr = pDispatch->QueryInterface<ihtmldocument2>(&pHtmlDoc);
EHResult::CheckException(
L"CMainFrame.Copy.QueryInterface<ihtmldocument2> Fail (0x%08x)", hr);

IHTMLSelectionObject *pHtmlObj;
hr = pHtmlDoc->get_selection(&pHtmlObj);
EHResult::CheckException(L"CMainFrame.Copy.get_selection Fail (0x%08x)", hr);
{
IDispatch *pRange;
hr = pHtmlObj->createRange(&pRange);
EHResult::CheckException(L"CMainFrame.Copy.createRange Fail (0x%08x)", hr);

IHTMLTxtRange *pText;
hr = pRange->QueryInterface<ihtmltxtrange>(&pText);
EHResult::CheckException(
L"CMainFrame.Copy.QueryInterface<ihtmltxtrange> Fail (0x%08x)", hr);

VARIANT null;
VariantInit(&null);

VARIANT_BOOL isOk;
hr = pText->execCommand(L"Copy", VARIANT_FALSE, null, &isOk);
EHResult::CheckException(L"CMainFrame.Copy.execCommand Fail (0x%08x)", hr);
}

But It doesn't work in windows ce 5.0 -0-
What should I do now~

And I have one more trouble.
I have to control the element's focus (in html document like ANCHORs or
CONTROLs) by arrow key.
Is there a way get the current focus of elements??

It also possible to get in Win32 by pHtmlDoc->get_activeElement
But Win CE 5.0 -0-

Please Help me~
Thank you.
