Hi,
Below is the list of advantages of COM. Please correct me if I am wrong and also let me now whether I covered all the advantages of COM (whether I have missed any of the major advantage of COM )
1) Ease of Application customization
2) Language independent
3) Reuse of application architecture
4) Secure access of object since it is binary format
Let me know if there is a better way to put the above advantages.

Hi Nandu,
COM does not throw exceptions as they are language specific and cannot cross the COM boundary.
What usually happens, especially if using #import (visual C++) is that a thin wraper is made around the COM function call, this detects the HRESULT failure of the COM call and throws an exception itself back to your C++ code.
Other languages may do the same, but non of them throw exceptions accross the COM boundary.

Hi Jonathan Wilkes,
So based on HRESULT we have to handle the sutivation.
ok..Thankyou very much.

Hi Nandu,
Yes, either process the HRESULTS if using straight COM, but if using the Microsoft #import statement then use exception handling as the wrapper created by the #import call will throw exceptions if the HRESULT is not S_OK.
regards,
Jonathan

what is the perpose of LockServer() in IClassFactiory
|

To avoid the COM server deletion whenever the reference count goes to zero. See the MSDN documentation about http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682332.aspx[^].
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

I have Created the Simple ATL COM Server (.dll). and put one interface in it(called MyMath) and Add one function called Addition. I also made a simple MFC application to use the function and import the library using import "..\path\_name.lib"> and then initialize the Interface. So It gives the Compile Time Error  . So I include two more files. _server.h and _server_i.c and Bam!!! Compile Time Error Gone!!.(server is the name of my ATL SERVER Project )But when I run the Programme it gives me the Run time Error as Below.
the instruction at "0X004139d8"referenced memory at "0z00000000". The memory coult not be "read" 
I am Using Visual Studio .Net 2003 for making Application

Hello,
One thing that you can do is to generate the map file during the compilation and then, reading that, find the line of code that generates the crash.
An excellent article is at url:
www.codeproject.com/debug/mapfile.asp
I don't know if, in your case, my idea can be usefull, but...

Hello
Im trying to deploy a application created on a machine with Office2007 on a new machine witch is using Office 2003. Im not getting it... I continue getting this error...
Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Application'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{00020970-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED)).
Just wondering if any of you guys know what could be wrong
Cheers

Greetings.
I have created a DLL using the ATL COM AppWizard, and have successfully added a class and functions. I was also successful in create and an expose an enum by including
typedef enum {aa,bb,cc} testEnum;
in the .idl file.
PROBLEM: how do I add definitions of global members? In other words, I would like some constants, variables and functions to be immediately available to VB applications that use my dll, in the same way that the "Load" method or the "App" property become available once the a reference to VB6.olb is created.
Thanks,
zgilboa

Thanks. Another thing which I've found out and which solves it is the use of the IDL appobject attribute. Each coclass that has this attribute included in its IDL definition will expose all of its members as global members. Additionally, you could use this attribute with more than one coclass.
[
uuid(483771F3-DD5D-4168-8DC6-CE090E2733F8),
appobject,
helpstring("RefRate Class")
]
coclass RefRate
{
[default] interface IRefRate;
};

I have a COM dll written using ATL. There is a interface named
"IVehicle". I want to derive 2 new interfaces from this, named
"IToyota" and "IHonda". How can i do that?
The purpose of doing this is that i should be able to use functions
inside both Base interface(IVehicle) from the drived new interfaces.
Thanks in advance.

You can do this, same way as simple class,
interface IToyoto : Vehicle
{...

You should remember, COM support interface inheritance, not implementation inheritance.
In other words, you need to implement all function inherited by new interface.

Does anyone have any information about using the function CDefFolderMenu_Create2 to create a standard Explorer context menu for a file? I have been trying in vain to get the correct items in the menu. So far the menu returns 'Cut', 'Copy', 'Create shortcut' and 'Delete' but I need the usual items like 'Send To', 'Properties' etc. I am using IQueryAssociations to return an HKEY but it always returns 0.
I am using C# but any information relating to this command in any language would be very helpful as the MSDN docs are less than helpful and google does not return anything useful.
Thanks
