I have a COM component DLL created in ATL and used on an ASP page. When I make changes and recompile I get a link error saying that it can't open the DLL for writing. The web server still has access to it. How do I stop and restart the web server?
This is on Windows NT4 Worstation + Option Pack.
I vaguely remember that I must do
net stop xxx
net start xxx

You must do:
net stop w3svc
net start w3svc.

Download the kill.exe command (I guess from MSDN it should be ok),
then kill.exe w3svc will stop then restart IIS.
To avoid killing IIS all the time, I would suggest to make your COM component an out-proc, at least temporarily.

I use Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com. It allows me to kill inetinfo when net stop w3svc says that the service cannot be stopped. However, in my activity of developing ISAPI extension I can crash inetinfo so badly that only a reboot will help.

If you store them using the following:
vector<A> myVec;
then the A1 and A2 instances will indeed be downcast to an A as you put them in. Storing pointers is the only way to get polymorphism. you'll also need to write a functor to use with for_each or similar to call delete on them when you're finished with the vector.

is the method declared as virtual at all levels in the class hierarchy?
Can you consider making the declaration of the method in A a pure virtual method?

Hi,
I am looking for the simpliest way to make the status bar show help messages for toolbar buttons (just like in MFC apps). Is there (in WTL) some hidden feature that can be just enabled, or do I have to make it all myself?
Thanks for any suggestions,

Hello,
I am trying to create a "Windowed Only" ActiveX control in .Net Studio using ATL. I set the appropriate flag in ATL control wizard when adding a new class to my project. But it looks like it does not have any affect. My control still does not get any window messages and Spy++ indicates it has no window.
I tried to create two similar classes using wizard -- in one case I set "Windowed Only" flag, in another case I don't. Then I compared the generated code -- no difference.
What am I doing wrong? Please, help!

I have encountered this problem too.
Add this to your constructor:
m_bWindowOnly = TRUE;
It is a public member of one of the inherited classes which seems to do the trick. I do not know if this is how MS meant it to be, but it worked for me.

Where can I find a good tutorial to learn how to program Windows apps with ATL (WTL) and some basics about this 2 libs? I want use it to make apps for a pocket pc.

Nice greets, Daniel.

AFAIK there is no easy way to write WTL-apps for the pocket PC. I read 6 months ago or so about someone having ported WTL for Windows CE. Check out groups.yahoo.com/wtl[^]

Please state the nature of your medical emergency.

I've created an activex control using ATL, were my method calls the findwindow api. The container is passing the title of the window and I want to pass back the handle of the window to the container.
my idl contruct is setup like this
[id(1), helpstring("method FindWin")] HRESULT FindWin([in]BSTR lpWinName, [out, retval]long* retval);
Originally the return value was [out, retval]HWND* hWnd); but I had problems.
Can someone tell me if I'm in the right neighborhood on this?
That to return this value I do:
USES_CONVERSION;
LPSTR WinName = W2A(lpWinName);
HWND pHandle;
pHandle = FindWindow(NULL, WinName);
retval = (long)pHandle;
Thanks

I just made a fresh install of Visual Studio 6 and I installed service pack 5. Then I added the WTL70 include files to the include directory of visual c and I tried to compile an example program.
I had exactly the same problem with windows 98, now I run Win2000 professional and I get the same problem again.
What more do I need to compile WTL with
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0500 ?
I did a MSDN search on 'LPNMREBARCHEVRON' but that didn't bring a solution...
--------Configuration: WTLExplorer - Win32 Debug---

Thanks a lot in advance, this problem has been bugging me for ages now.
Kind regards, Griffith Sutherns

You need the Platform SDK installed. If you have it, check your VC Directories settings and make the PSDK install dir higher in the list than the vc98\include dir.

Ahh thanks, that must've been the problem.
It's strange I never read the platform SDK was required. (Most things compiled fine without it). And I still have the impression it wasn't worth the 200mb download...
Thanks a lot for helping me out,
Kind regards,

As a beginer of ATL Based Web Service programmer, I have some some questions about it:
1)Whether a Web Sevice can hold its state during its serving many clients, for I want keep some data structs among clients because these clients are collorating doing a certain work. If Web Service can has this virtue, how can I do, are there some documents about it?
2) can a web service client dynamicly locate the server without recompiling its source files When a Web Service provider changes its location on the internet? If it can, how can I do and are there some documents about it?
Please help me, thank you!

 Hi,
I have a COM server without idl/tlb files.
Can anybody tell how to get/generate a tlb from an exe which doesn't have an idl? I understand without idl , it is not possible to generate tlb. This server supports ATL but doesnot have its own idl file.
|
|
|
|

- if you are using VC++7 and especially the latest ATL class wizards, you actually end up with interface declaration, class inheritance, and class implementation in the same non-idl file. That's what MS sees good as the new "Attribute-programming" style.
So you don't have a dedicated idl file, but it produces a standard tlb. No need to say I don't recommend this programming style sort of i-put-together-in-the-same-file, as it is a couple miles away from standard object modelling.
- by the way, if you need some idl format, you may just view and extract the content of the .tlb file using OleView (one of the tools with VC++).
And I swallow a small raisin.

![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) Actually, I have a COM Server ( an .Exe) with no tlb. I have to create its assembly for which it needs a tlb file. If I try to add a reference directly in .Net environment, it reports an error that it is not a valid COM Component.
But In VC++6.0, I can do the createinstance of this server. So that means it is a com component. and also in the registry the information available indicate that it is an OUTPROC Server.
In VC++ 6.0, I can directly use the CLSID of this COMServer and communicate with the interfaces that it wraps.
Do u know if we have any means in C# using which we can invoke this server?
Confused

Get it clear : a COM server (.dll or .exe) comes with a .tlb, by definition. If not, no client application would be able to do successfully CoCreateInstance() on it.
What I guess is that in your case the .tlb file is embedded in the .exe file rather than separate, which is common (usually developers add a reference to the .tlb file generated at compile-time in the .rc resource file).
Have you tried to do "tlbimp <comservername.exe>" ? (from the MSDN doc, tlbimp does apply to any file with a tlb content inside).
MSDN doc.
There is no reason it doesn't work, and if you really need the .tlb file itself you may just as well use a resource file editor, and extract the type-library from it like you would with a picture.
Good luck!
And I swallow a small raisin.

Hi,
I have tried this too. but tlbIml gives an error that it is not a valid com server, though in the registry it maintains all the information like its ProgId, CLSID, server version, etc....
This server has been created using Custom interfaces.
In VC++ , I can develop a client that launches this server on doing CoCreateInstance(...).
Confused!!!

"Custom interfaces" is something you have invented.
You have COM interfaces, and that's all.
Post code snippets, at least SOME people MAY see and tell you;
