Hi I am a newbie with COM & ActiveX and would like to ask for some advice.
I'm developing a GUI for real time systems, written in ANSI C and C++, it will provide drawing functions, a windowing system, widgets, bitmaps etc.
I want to add a possibility to use it aswell as an ActiveX control, so people can create a VisualC++ project and develop on it as a way of simulating the real hardware. So the ActiveX control should display what at the end will be seen in a real screen running the GUI in an embedded real time system.
Any hints on the best way to do this? I am just starting my research on ActiveX possibilities. My first thought is to use an ActiveX dialog with a picture control on it the size of the real screen. Then make it get the picture content from a memory area provided by the container application. When the container changes that memory, changes should be displayed in the ActiveX picture. Should the picture control be a bitmap or a "owner draw" type? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanx!!

Hi~
I am programming a customized web browser with IWebBrowser2 in windows ce 5.0
And I want to embody some functions which copy/cut/paste.
I made it in Win32 Application already..
Using by these ways
Way1
HRESULT hr = m_pWeb->ExecWB(
OLECMDID_COPY, OLECMDEXECOPT_DODEFAULT, NULL, NULL);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
int n = GetLastError();
ASSERT(false);
}
Way2
IHTMLDocument2 *pHtmlDoc;
hr = pDispatch->QueryInterface<ihtmldocument2>(&pHtmlDoc);
EHResult::CheckException(
L"CMainFrame.Copy.QueryInterface<ihtmldocument2> Fail (0x%08x)", hr);
IHTMLSelectionObject *pHtmlObj;
hr = pHtmlDoc->get_selection(&pHtmlObj);
EHResult::CheckException(L"CMainFrame.Copy.get_selection Fail (0x%08x)", hr);
{
IDispatch *pRange;
hr = pHtmlObj->createRange(&pRange);
EHResult::CheckException(L"CMainFrame.Copy.createRange Fail (0x%08x)", hr);
IHTMLTxtRange *pText;
hr = pRange->QueryInterface<ihtmltxtrange>(&pText);
EHResult::CheckException(
L"CMainFrame.Copy.QueryInterface<ihtmltxtrange> Fail (0x%08x)", hr);
VARIANT null;
VariantInit(&null);
VARIANT_BOOL isOk;
hr = pText->execCommand(L"Copy", VARIANT_FALSE, null, &isOk);
EHResult::CheckException(L"CMainFrame.Copy.execCommand Fail (0x%08x)", hr);
}
But It doesn't work in windows ce 5.0 -0-
What should I do now~
And I have one more trouble.
I have to control the element's focus (in html document like ANCHORs or
CONTROLs) by arrow key.
Is there a way get the current focus of elements??
It also possible to get in Win32 by pHtmlDoc->get_activeElement
But Win CE 5.0 -0-
Please Help me~
Thank you.

I have a .lib generated in VC6. How can i create a COM wrapper for this lib( with some related .h files), which can be used within a VC8 application. Since i am not much aware of COM wrapper,please help me with some details....

If you want to access the exported methods from Managed C++ then I beleive you may want to look at Interoperability topic in .NET.
Following may be helpful, if you require a COM wrapper over existing DLL -
1. Create a new ATL COM DLL project
2. Add a simple ATL object
3. Add methods [and properties, if required] to the interface of this object. These methods [and properties] correspond to the methods in your DLL. You have the declaration in the .H file already
4. Implement these methods [and properties]. Usually you will only call the exported function of your DLL from each method.
Let me know if this helps. Anyone who knows more specific or can correct me, please do.

How would I distinguish between a normal COM component and an ActiveX control by looking at the code?

 From MDSN:
At a higher level, an ActiveX control is a COM object that implements several main ActiveX technologies, including regular incoming COM interfaces, the OLE embedding protocol, connection points, and property pages. At a lower programmatic level, ActiveX controls are just COM classes implementing certain families of interfaces. When some client code successfully queries for one of these interfaces, the client code then knows it's dealing with an ActiveX control.
The interfaces exposed by an ActiveX control fall into three general categories. First, ActiveX controls are embeddable objects; that is, they implement most of the OLE Document in-place activation and embedding protocols. ActiveX controls implement the following interfaces: IOleObject, IPersistStorage, IDataObject, IOleInPlaceActiveObject, IOleInPlaceObject, IViewObject2, and IRunnableObject (this is rarely used). Second, ActiveX controls usually support property pages so the client has a means of modifying the control's properties. Finally, ActiveX controls usually implement outgoing interfaces that the client can find out about using COM's connection point technology.
So basically you can determine if it's an ActiveX control by what interfaces it's exposing and whether it has a property page or not.
I got the text from this article[^].

Nah, you've got to know what to look for as well.
I knew you can tell from the interfaces, but couldn't remember them, and I wanted some writings to refer to.
No worries, mate!

Hi all ,
I have just started doing COM , I have Written a Code for popup

Whenever a new popup comes the control will call Invoke Method
and goes inside "case DISPID_NEWWINDOW2" and execute

these codes but after this an unhandled exception is coming and I am unable to

The explanations for the crashes can be numerous, but one serious conceptual error has been made in the code you provided:
You've spawned a secondary thread that uses the interfaces you've got in the main thread.
When you access COM servers from other threads than the one that created the server, you have to (a) initialize the new COM apartment with a call to CoInitialize() and (b) marshal the interface to the secondary thread.
You have to fix this before digging further down in your chase for the cause of the crashes.
You can read about it in MSDN[^], or Lim Bio Liong's excellent articles on the subject here (1)[^] and here (2)[^].
Hope this helps

Hello All,
I have small and simple COM program to access a Add function in Dll and I am accessing this function from main program.
For the simple add function it is working, interface and dll files are working properly.
For this interface I am trying to add one more function by name getdate() which of return Char* .. can any one please help how to declare the getdate() function in interface ???
Below are declaration and files with there names ….
// File interface.h
// This file contains interface related declarations.

Hi All,
I need to know how can i call from application that i wrote in C++ in visual studio 6 a function from C# ( visual 2005 ) application ?
What i mean is call function in way like calling com interface function - ( in com i can call function from application X that i have pointer to it in application Y ).
Can i do it ?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
How does one go about implementing an event sink (in CLI C++) for a COM object that supports the IConnectionPoint interface without access to it's type library. In essence, how can it be done late-bound at runtime?
More information:
I'm having trouble implementing a late bound event sink (without a type library). I would like to subscribe to events from a COM object that implements the IConnectionPoint interface. I instantiate the object using Activator::CreateInstance. I then enumerate its connection points using IConnectionPointContainer::EnumConnectionPoints. Upon successfully obtaining a pointer to the IConnectionPoint interface, I call its Advise function like Advise(this, cookie), where this is a simple public ref class. Initially, the function was failing with a Cast Exception. However after specifying the ComVisible(true) for the class, the function succeeded returning a cookie.
Now, my issue is, the source COM object uses the IDispatch and IUnknown interfaces of the object I pass it to determine what events to send and to actually send the events. How can I specify my own implementations of these two interfaces, so that they get called instead of the default system implementation? Maybe I am approaching this the wrong way, but I haven't found any documentation regarding late-bound event handling from COM objects.
Thanks!

An event sink is just an interface, typically an IDispatch interface. If it is an IDispatch interface normally you only need to implement IDispatch::Invoke.

Thanks for your response.
I guess what I meant was, how would you go about doing it in CLI/C++. How can I define a managed class that implements the IDispatch interface in CLI/C++ because apparently the base class for all managed types (Object) internally implement the IDispatch / IUnknown interfaces. How can I override the default implementation with my own? Thanks!

If you're making a source inteface you'll probably want to assign the DISPID explictly. See here[^]. I'm no dotNET expert however; I'm a C++ programmer with no plans to "upgrade" unless forced (which will probably happen sooner or later).
Steve

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. For the time being I resorted to wrapping the functionality I required in a native COM C++ class and calling it using marshaling from my managed code. Thanks again!

We have to implement a com server as an executable which will be communicating with a COM dll. COM server would need to call certain functions in COM dll and the com dll would also need to invoke certain functions in the com exe. That is, both would be acting as a server as well as a client. What are the design issues to be considered? Any code samples, tips and suggestion would be most welcome.
Thanks
