Hello C++ Gurus,

I created a 64-bit COM DLL by compiling a 32-bit application in visual studio 2010(Mode-Release, Platform-x64) and registered it successfully using Regsvr32.exe tool.
I am trying to create the instance of the dll but, I am getting "Class Not registered " error in the below function:
hr = CoCreateInstance(rclsid, pOuter, dwClsContext, __uuidof(IUnknown), reinterpret_cast<void**>(&pIUnknown));

I observed that for 32-bit DLL I am getting clsid as 'CLSID _IDispatch ibase32' in the function:
hr = CLSIDFromProgID(const_cast<lpwstr> (clsidString), &clsid);
But it gives the Class ID not the IDispatch interface for 64-bit DLL.

Please anybody suggest the solution.

Thanks in Advance.

You cannot create an instance of a DLL . The instances are made of classes and you need a registered class which is derived by some interfaces (maybe control and /or one for events) which describes the functions from these interfaces . Maybe this link will help you. There is really nice tutorial in msdn too

I registered the 64-bit DLL in the registry successfully. I am using the below code for creating the instance. I am getting a valid m_ptr pointer.However, when I am calling a function like m_ptr ->CreateBuffer(65536); it returns -858993460.

//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "dlllib.tlh"

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
mPtr m_ptr = NULL;
HRESULT hr;
CoInitialize (NULL);
if (FAILED(m_ptr.CreateInstance(L"mbase32")) || m_isis == 0)
{
printf("Fail!");
}
hr=m_ptr->CreateBuffer(65536) ;//here hr = -858993460
return 0;
}
Please suggest, why I am getting a negative value of hr.

Thanks

If you are trying to create a COM object from a 32 bit dll/exe , then your 64 bit com object cannot be instantiated .
Because Windows maintain separate entries for 32 bit and 64 bit COM objects. Hence make sure that your COM object and your container application belongs to same architecture (either 32 bit or 64 bit .....not mixed)

Search for SysWOW on on the net.

I'm still(hopefully will remain?) pretty wet-behind-the-ears with respect to COM work. Though I do note that the behaviour you report is the same as that which I observe when starting a 32bit COM server under either windows xp or 7.

That is to say CLSIDFromProgId does just that - it returns a classID. A classID that you then use later to start the server with.

I work with gcc predominantly, so miss the advantages of the wizards in VS. as a result I've had to put together my own set of helper functions. Here's the one I use when starting a com server. Hope it's not entirely useless..

C++

IDispatch *startServer(wchar_t *serverName)
{
   // Get CLSID for our server...
   CLSID clsid;
   wstring progId, errorMsg;

    progId = serverName;
    progId += L".Application";
   HRESULT hr = CLSIDFromProgID(progId.c_str(), &clsid);

   if(FAILED(hr)) {

      MessageBox(NULL, L"CLSIDFromProgID() failed", L"Error", 0x10010);
      return NULL;
   }

   // Start server and get IDispatch...
   IDispatch *pResult;
   hr = CoCreateInstance(clsid, NULL, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, IID_IDispatch, (void **)&pResult);
   if(FAILED(hr)) {
       errorMsg = serverName;
       errorMsg += L" not registered properly";
      MessageBox(NULL, errorMsg.c_str(), L"Error", 0x10010);
      return NULL;
   }
    return pResult;
}
