I'm guessing you got the TreeView control from one thread and are filling from another.

Interfaces that cross apartment boundaries has to be marshaled.
No surprises here, it's according to the COM spec.
When you spawn a thread that should use COM stuff, you create another apartment and you have to initalize COM for that apartment with a call to ::CoInitalize() or ::CoInitializeEx(). If you want to use a COM interface that you got in another thread you have to marshal that interface to the new apartment.
There are several ways of doing this, but I think in your case the easiest way would be to use ::CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream() and ::CoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream().
Have a look at MSDN here[^].

Hello,
.NET interop service marshals all interfaces automatically for all new threads. Marshaling fails for incorrect data types in the interface. You can only use automation supported data types like BSTR, VARIANT_BOOL, SAFEARRAY etc. For complete list of data types see VS documentation on MSDN or ATL wizard in Visual Studio.

Ok, I've seen that function before.
I programming in .NET (C#). What type of method can I use in .NET.
I've run into the Control.Invoke method but I have about 30 calls to my TreeView and it is very time-consuming to rewrite all these calls...

Sorry, I neither do .NET nor C#.

Why would all those calls have to be rewritten?
This cannot have anything to do with eventual calls to the marshalling API.

Sorry I don't know what you mean with that...
I've posted this topic in the C# forum.

I meant that it doesn't matter whether the code is implemented in C# or C++.
If adding marshalling of an interface would require "every call to be rewritten", then I suspect either a design flaw or the API to be used in a way it wasn't intended.
I hope you don't mean that "rewriting a call" means changing the name of your interface variable and you consider a "search'n'replace" for changing the name of a variable time consuming. 
Why do you think that every call needs to be rewritten?
Why do you create a second thread and what does it do?
My questions are language independant.

Hi,
Problem is that A call to CocreateInstance fails ....hence the requested interface pointer shown is NULL ...hrStatus = CoCreateInstance(
clsControl,
NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_Control,
reinterpret_cast<lpvoid *="">(&m_pControl)
);
ABOVE the IID_Control is showing as NULL...
Any solutions , Kindly let me know
regards
Shailesh

I think, you wants to say, m_pControl is NULL.
Can you show complete code ?
Have you used ::CoInitialize(NULL) before calling CoCreateInstance?

Hello
ur right m_pControl is NULL ..hence error..
I can giv u some more of the code ...
HRESULT hrStatus = CLSIDFromProgID( TEXT("What ever prog ID"), &clsControl );
if( SUCCEEDED(hrStatus) )
{
//
// Create the object and initialize it.
//
hrStatus = CoCreateInstance(
clsControl,
NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IControl,
reinterpret_cast<lpvoid *="">(&m_pControl)
);
if( SUCCEEDED(hrStatus) )
{
// some code
}
}

I think you are getting class id here.
Call, ::Coinitialize(NULL) before it.
Shailesh Halankar wrote: hrStatus = CoCreateInstance(

What is value of hrstatus here?

Hi Prasad
I cant use coinitialize function ..gives linker error..i think its coz its not a VC++ apllication that i m working on . Its a Embeded VC++ application that i m working on.

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".

my code ..is somewat like this
HRESULT hrStatus = CLSIDFromProgID( TEXT("some"), &clsControl );
if( SUCCEEDED(hrStatus) )
{
//
// Create the object and initialize it.
//
hrStatus = CoCreateInstance(
clsControl,
NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IControl,
reinterpret_cast<lpvoid *="">(&m_pControl)
);
if( SUCCEEDED(hrStatus) )
{
//some code
}
}

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?
Regards,
Leonid

i need to pass a path string to vc++ module in a com component, but i'm having difficulty in working betbeen string of C# and CHAR* of vc++. does anyone have any solution??
i have made an interface(COM) for a function sth like below.
test(CHAR* path)
{
}

Hello,
You need to use BSTR as argument’s type for COM server. Interop takes care about the rest.

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.
