If you make code usng ATL, HTML control must be answer.
Core : Your code implements IObjectWithSite then IE will use SetSite() method to pass to your code the IUnknown pointer to its site object. Then you can query IServiceProvider and you get IWebBrowser2 pointer. That's it..!

helo friends,
how can i embed an activex control in aoutlook mail message
|
|
|
|
|
Just create a mail message in html, if you want to send the control with the message, you need to create a multipart message, where the html message is one part and the control itself the second.
You can also reference other servers from your html code, thus the control can be placed on a server the client has access to.
Please note that some, if not most, users have disabled running activex controls inside Outlook.

hello firends,
i am developing an activex control(MFC) that we are going to embed in webpage. But my question is Is it important to have a every clientmachine that downloads that webpage should have MFC dlls installed in them?????
please help me.

Well the simple answer is yes. I have recently developed an activex control and found that some clients who were lacking mfc42(your letter here).dll and one or two other dependencies did not run.
The solution:
Use a cab utlility (cabarc.exe from Microsoft) to create a cab file of your activex control plus a .inf file. The inf file describes the contents of the cab file and any dependencies it requires. The line to add to the inf file for installing and running the latest mfc dlls is
[mfc42installer]
file-win32-x86=http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vc/mfc42.cab
run=%EXTRACT_DIR%\mfc42.exe
There are loads of articles on MS site describing the complete procedure.
hope this helps

You can also statically link to MFC to avoid having to redistribute the MFC DLLs. Chances are that you're not using all of the MFC library, and thus you'd shorten download times by linking statically. Dead code is removed during link time. If you distributed the DLLs with the CAB, the user will have to download all the code - even that which is not used.

Hi all,
Can anybody give me some pointers on how to pass the following
complex type through a COM interface ?
typedef struct ComplexType
{
Type type;
union
{
int intVal;
BSTR strVal;
BYTE* pbyteVal;
AnotherComplexType* pcomplexVal;
};
};
The real type contains different fields but you should get the
idea: it basically is just like a VARIANT only with more levels
of indirection.
I need to pass these structures between my COM component and
non-COM legacy code. Unfortunately, there is a threading issue
that causes a proxy and stub to be created even for in-process
deployment of my component, so simply passing a pointer doesn't
work.
Should I resort to custom marshalling ?
Kind regards,
Alwin!

|
|

Define your type(s) in IDL and it will create marshalling code for it.

I've spent a week on making COM+ ManagementTool displaying COM+ Catalog Infomation using COMAdminCatalogCollection.
Currently,I'm using VB.NET to do this job.
Most of infomation I'd like to
find was in COMAdminCatalogCollection.
But I couldn't find a way of retrieving imfomation of state of Object activated. I'd like to know how many Object is Activated as if I see the COM+ Management Tool provided in Windows 2003.
Please,Help me.
Any idea will be helpful.

I used the Object Viewer tool to generate the IDL file for Shocwave Flash control, it appears to be ok. However, when I use MIDL to generate the header file, the methods in the IShockwaveFlashEvents interface are not generated, even if they are present in the IDL file itself.
Is this standard behaviour or am I just stuck with an amateur mistake?
I can generate my sink class based on the information found in the IDL, but I'd rather use MIDL for the task as I'll be interfacing with other controls in the future and want to learn the ins and outs of Visual Studio.NET.
The event interface is in fact based on IDispatch (i.e. dispinterface), is this the reason the methods are hidden from the generated header file? So, even if the methods are present in the IDL along with their disp ids, they won't be automatically included, but force the developer to query for the methods to find the disp ids.
Then again, should my event sink be based on IDispatch as well or should I manually copy the declarations to form the vtable as defined in the IDL?
Please take the time and guide a COM/ATL newbie to a solution.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am working on this ATL dll, which has one object that implements
connection points. I added some methods in the event interface that take
VARIANT as parameters, so that I may receive the variants in events when I
use the same from VB.
In IDL file it is like
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[id(3), helpstring("method SampleRecordPkt")] HRESULT SampleRecordPkt([in]
VARIANT vBytes);
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Now, I am trying to fire this from my code as follows - (All the hard coded
stuff I did for debug only.)
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
BYTE bytes[] = {5, 123, 9, 0, 5, 0, 0, 191, 157};
COleSafeArray saBytes1;
saBytes1.CreateOneDim(VT_UI1,sizeof(bytes));
for(long i = 0; i < sizeof(bytes);i++)
{
BYTE val = bytes[i];
saBytes1.PutElement(&i,&val);
}
file://fire off the appropriate event
VARIANT var = saBytes1.Detach();
Fire_SampleRecordPkt(var);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
However, inside "Fire_SampleRecordPkt(var)", the application crashes. The
crash occurs at the line given below (wizard generated code, when "implement
connection point" is chosen.)
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
DISPPARAMS disp = { pvars, NULL, 1, 0 };
pDispatch->Invoke(0x3, IID_NULL, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DISPATCH_METHOD,
&disp, &varResult, NULL, NULL);
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Can some body help me identify where I am wrong? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Hello Aby,
I have some clues as to what might have gine wrong but I need some more information from you first :
Is the events proxy code implemented somewhat like the following ? :
HRESULT Fire_SampleRecordPkt(VARIANT vBytes)
{
CComVariant varResult;
T* pT = static_cast<T*>(this);
int nConnectionIndex;
CComVariant* pvars = new CComVariant[1];
int nConnections = m_vec.GetSize();
for (nConnectionIndex = 0; nConnectionIndex < nConnections; nConnectionIndex++)
{
pT->Lock();
CComPtr<IUnknown> sp = m_vec.GetAt(nConnectionIndex);
pT->Unlock();
IDispatch* pDispatch = reinterpret_cast<IDispatch*>(sp.p);
if (pDispatch != NULL)
{
VariantClear(&varResult);
pvars[0] = &vBytes; // <-- important.
DISPPARAMS disp = { pvars, NULL, 1, 0 };
pDispatch->Invoke(0x1, IID_NULL, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DISPATCH_METHOD, &disp, &varResult, NULL, NULL);
}
}
delete[] pvars;
return varResult.scode;
}
Please note the line in which I added the comment "// <-- important.".
Please let me know because I suspect your problem may be a case of wrong code generated by the wizard.
Please revert,
Bio.

I'm develeping a Free Threaded model COM exe component.
in some functions I want to use _bstr_r wrapper class.
When I use it I get the following error:
Linking...
LIBC.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Release/ExcelExportImport.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
I don't get the error in debug. Why is that ?

Your release build flags include _ATL_MIN_CRT. Remove the definition, or alternatively, remove all use of the CRT functions, using equivalent API calls instead (yeah, right!).
See Q291952 at MSDN Online for more details.

Hi Guys!
I'm novice in DCOM and my question will be very easy.
I'm created COM-server and its COM-client. I can successfully run both on the same machine and successufully run
on the separate machine (with modification in dcomcnfg). The code is not changed when remote running.
I used the follows (it works fine):
IEncoder * pEncoder;
HRESULT hr=CoCreateInstance(CLSID_Encoder,
NULL,
CLSCTX_SERVER,
IID_IEncoder,
(void **)&pEncoder);
I'm trying to specify exactrly on which machine COM-server should be run using the follows:
WCHAR *wszMachineName=L"STAR\0";
COSERVERINFO srv;
ZeroMemory(&srv,sizeof(srv));
srv.pwszName=wszMachineName;
MULTI_QI qi;
HRESULT hr=CoCreateInstanceEx(CLSID_Encoder,
NULL,
CLSCTX_SERVER,
&srv,
1,
&qi);
This returns E_INVALIDARG. 
What should I do to remotely invoke my COM-server from another machine using CoCreateInstanceEx() ?
Yours sincerely,
Alex Bash

Have you defined _WIN32_DCOM in your client? Also, you might want to set the MULTI_QI (qi in your case) memeber pIID to the address of the interface you are requesting to be returned and then try calling CoCreateInstanceEx.
Hope this helps.

Help, guys!
I'm novice in COM and my question is very easy.
I've created my first COM-server (say, Encoder that have produced files Encode_i.c and Encode.h).
Now, I'm writting COM-client for my COM-server. I've created new project (Simple Win32 application), copied
Encode_i.c and Encode.h into project with my COM-client. When I try to compile COM-client, I got the follows:
c:\home\encodeclt\encode_i.c(50) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header
directive
Error executing cl.exe.
EncodeClt.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
What should I do?
Yours sincerely,
Alex Bash

Read the C++ FAQ here on CP 
You need to adjust the project settings for that particular file so that it does not use precompiled headers, or alternatively, #include it into stdafx.cpp.

I have been given an IStorage pointer as part of a drag and drop operation and I would like to extract the contents into a block of memory. Whats the best way to do this? So far I have used the following method which seems to work but looks a bit naff.  Anybody got any comments to make?
<snippet>
<br />
VOID ExtractStorageData(IStorage *pStorage)<br />
{<br />
<br />
WCHAR fspec[MAX_PATH];<br />
CreateTempFilename(fspec);<br />
<br />
<br />
IStorage *pNewStorage;<br />
pStorage->StgCreateDocfile(fspec,<br />
STGM_CREATE | STGM_DIRECT | STGM_READWRITE | STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE,<br />
0,&pNewStorage);<br />
<br />
pStorage->CopyTo(NULL,NULL,NULL,pNewStorage);<br />
<br />
pNewStorage->Release();<br />
<br />
<br />
BYTE buffer[65535]<br />
<br />
HANDLE h=OpenTempFile(fspec);<br />
ReadTempFile(h,buffer,sizeof(buffer));<br />
CloseHandle(h);<br />
}<br />

You can read directly into memory without creating tem file:
Instead of "StgCreateDocfile":
1)CreateILockBytesOnHGlobal
2)StgCreateDocfileOnILockBytes
then get a HGLOBAL (GetHGlobalFromILockBytes) and read it

I have a question regarding COM objects.
I have created a COM object (dll) that is used by an ASP page. The thing is that when multiple users call the page with COM, the object can not process multiple requests simoultaneusly.
Why is that ?
I'm using VC++ 6.0
|
|
|
|
|
Is your object STA?
Steve S
|
|
|
|
|
Now my object is Free with Free threaded marshaller.
It works from a .exe test program, but it's still not working from the ASP page.
I think it's something related to ASP.

Probably. You might do better posting in 'Web Development'
(and I expect the clickety-police to be along any second now...)
