Dear all,
I have created a button in IE 5.5 ToolBar(Tool Band concept).then I have created(manually) a registry named as
ToolBand1 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ToolBand1.
If I execute that application(VC++),button name to be changed as ToolBand1 in IE.
How to change it through SDK codings?.
Pls help me...
Thanks for viewing this.Please help me.

Man, I doubt that (and fear it). COM is so entrenched in Windows it isn't even funny. Ever since Win95 COM has ruled everything from the taskbar to the desktop namespace to the very views on folders and other objects.
On the other hand, maybe we can finally learn the internals of Windows by reading the MSIL from the assemblies.

Heiii !! I have no experience in c++/ATL but i know for sure that major portion of ur skills, which matters is not in ATL/C++ but using ATL/C++ for creating components , which u understand so well , is' it
It's functional knowledge what matters !
Anyways COM/COM+ is not dying , actually i don't c it now !
Cheeeers!!
P.S. PATWAL

Well... COM seems to die, and although I loose my "super skills", I feel happy about it.
I'm "sitting on" a large desktop application that uses a COM architecture - so I both know what COM means, need COM, and I made the promise "MS will never abandon that" to my boss.
However, "Knowing what COM means" is a two-sided blade. When I see the day-to-day problems my co'(s) face, and I know these things wouldn't be an issue under .NET, I'd happily scrap it for the "new thing". Well, I can't, and that might be a good thing.
Anyway, managed API's are more robust, and easier to use, and COM - while a good architecture as such - suffered from legacy issues and a bad infrastructure since the very beginning.

Hi all,
I've written a COM plugin to IE which prior to loading itself checks the calling process' name. If it happens to be explorer.exe it should quit and not load. If it is iexplore.exe then things are ok...
Now, I've noticed that even if IE runs it can actually be run as a subprocess to explorer.exe. When this is the case, my COM plugin will not load when I want it to.
To my question: Under what circumstances is IE running as/under explorer.exe?

"IE", as you call it, is not really anything but a client. Namely, I refer to iexplore.exe, which is a COM client just like explorer.exe. WebBrowser2 is the automation server that can be hosted by practically any client. This is what has driven Windows since Windows 95 w/ IE 4.0 and ActiveDesktop - it's completely integrated (which the gov't failed to understand).
So "Internet Explorer" is merely a container application that hosts the WebBrowser2 control, advises its connection sinks, and provides UI services like Favorites and toolbars that can interact with the WebBrowser2 control.

In my Visual C++ project, I adopted OLE Automation to access MS Word. The performance is rather disappointing. A single invocation to get a document object or get the selected range takes as long as over 10 milliseconds. I know invocations via IDispatch is slow. I read from a Visual C++ manual that such an invocation takes about 0.5 milliseconds. Where has the remained time gone? Does Word need so long to process a simple request?

coz its a dog
i've done a lot of word automation from VC++ and MS Word is....just bloody slow via automation

Some software companies live only thanks to that. For instance, they sell Word/Excel native generators that are up to 10 times faster. So I guess that's good for us all that MS sells sh*tty code.

I worked with MS Excel automation.that is not too different...hihih KINDA SLOW STUFF

here's my horrible situation:
there is a library that i want to use that operates on either a file or an IStorage object - if you give it a file, it will open its own storage via StgOpenStorage and proceed from there. so, really it likes IStorage, period.
however, my application already has a very nice I/O system in place where data can come from a file, a chunk of memory or from a set of user-defined callback functions. what i want to do is use my own I/O system.
what i need to know is, is there a reasonable way to create an object that implements IStorage so that I can use my own I/O system as the 'back end' ?
is there any good documentation on IStorage? i've looked at the MSDN and it doesn't really help me much - it assumes you're going to use StgOpenStorage and pals.
(yes. this is a repost, with better details)

I only have about 1 week's experience with IStorage (I wrote a docfile viewer for work, we needed something better than the viewer that comes with VC), but as I understand it you can either use the OLE structured storage implementation (the one you get with the Stg* functions), or write your own.
For your situation, you'd write an implementation of IStorage/IStream, which would basically be pass-through calls to your own I/O system. Then create one of those COM objects and pass its IStorage interface to the library. The library has no idea what implementation is behind the IStorage it receives, it just knows that it can call methods in the interface. That is, after all, the whole point of COM.

any hints on how to do that? i can see their interfaces in the MSDN, but i don't have a good feeling as to what is really involved with implementing them (ie. how do the calls interact with each other, or modify the object, etc.).

That's not what Michael said IMHO. You have to create a wrapper, and in the end, down the hills, just plug to the IStream/IStorage interfaces.
PS : the OLE compound file format is not documented. You are not likely to be able to implement these interfaces yourself, unless you buy a portion of the Windows source code. (or hack the net[^] to find debuting implementations, which I wouldn't trust by the way).

but ILockBytes is pretty easy to do. and that's what i've done. (see my reply to the root msg here)

The easiest would be to provide an ILockBytes implementation (without the locking, jsut raw read & write), and use StgCreateDocfileOnILockBytes
You could even use the CreateILockBytesOnHGlobal....

My companbion CD is cracked in 4 pieces. Its of no use to me. Believe it or not, but the MSPress website has no information on "Inside COM". I did a search for the Book, its not listed, I did a search for the author, he's not listed, I did a search by topic, and under COM, the book is not listed. I did an ISBN search, and no results. WHAT THE FARK?
ANyways, if you would be kind enough, could someone please zip up the cd contents and email them to me? Thank you very much. I will now forever know not to pile my programming books on top of eachother without first removing the companion cd's.
my book order for "essential com" is in the process of going through management, i expect an answer sometime after my projects deadline.
