What's causing the following error?
I'm using VC++ 6.0 on WinXP Home???
Any takers?
Linking...
Creating library ReleaseMinSize/mycom.lib and object ReleaseMinSize/mycom.exp
LIBCMT.lib(wwincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _wWinMain@16
ReleaseMinSize/mycom.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
Thanks

You need to provide an entry point for the executable. Goto Project settings, Linker, Output and type wWinMainCRTStartup into the "Entry-point symbol" field.

Nada...
I have tried that before
And i've tried _wWinMain@16 and about a million others.

If you have not already tried this, remove _ATL_MIN_CRT from the project settings.
I had the same problem when I needed exception handling in a recent ATL project.

Hi,
I want to implement scrollbars in my control which is implemented by atl,
how to implement it ?
thanks in advance!
------------------------
Tell me the truth!

You can implement scrollbars in an ATL ActiveX control by setting the WinTraits in the class declaration:
<br />
CWindowImpl<CMainWindow, CWindow, CWinTraits<WS_CHILD | WS_VSCROLL, 0> ><br />
Another way to enable scrollbars in the control is to passs WS_VSCROLL and/or WS_HSCROLL to the CWindowImpl<>'s Create function (dwStyle).
Then you can add event handlers for the scrollbars by using the Add Windows Message Handler wizard.
Does this help? or did I completely misunderstand you post?
Regards,
John

Hi,
i wrote an application which can communicate with excel.
I have build an dialog based project with automation.
The next step was including the classes from a Type Library (Excel.exe).
Now i can start excel via
m_pApp.CreateDispatch("Excel.Application");
and select Ranges and Fill Cells.
My Question is:
How to communicate with excel without starting excel.exe (in Taskmanager as an proccess).
Is it possible to do this.
I heard a lot of COM i always thought automation means COM.
My C++ Skills are not the best.
I won´t use ActiveX elements in my Project.
Is there any tutorial or can anybody help me to communicate with excel
without starting a excel.exe proccess.
Thx in advance.
Sorry for bad english.
Bye

Communicating with Excel.Application requires that excel be started. If your issue is that this application is visible, then you can probabaly find a visibility method in excel itself.
It should be something like m_pApp->SetVisible(false), althought i'm pretty sure my syntax isnt the right one.
Other than that, there is a package that is being sold that allows to manipulate excel at the file level but its not free. Can't remember the package name thought.

Hi darkbyte,
thx for reply!!!
Your code is totaly correct ->SetVisible(true)
If i dont use:
->SetVisible(false)
Excel is hidden and not visible @ the Taskbar but i can
see it in the Taskmanager as an active process.
If i use:
->SetVisible(true)
Excel appears in the Taskbar and is started as proccess and application
in Taskmanager.
My Question is:
Is it possible to communicate with excel without having an running excel.exe proccess?
I thought COM doesnt need an active procces to communicate.
Thx darkbyte maybe anybody else can help too.

Most Automation Application will be running when you create an instance of them in your application.
The reason being that for most operations to be performed, excel need to be running. This makes things a little complex sometimes. Like trying to do something that pops a dialog box only when certain conditions are met. Then the excel application seems like it is stale, but its waiting for a user to click on the "OK" button of the dialog it just popped.
Same applies to most members of MS Office family.
So, its a definitive NO, you cannot communicate with Excel without having a running excel.exe
COM Automation does require to have an active process.
This of it this way: if you start your program 3 times, you will have 3 different Excel applications running, and this is a good thing. You dont want a process intensive task to prevent your 2 other programs to wait when all they do is a simple task each.

As it is possible to
"Add to Favorites" using the IShellUIHelper,
is it possible to
set the homepage using IShellUIHelper?
|
|
|
|
|
Nope, it is not possible.
But you could always try and find which registry key keeps this information.

Hi,
How do I connect to my COM server, written with VS C++ 7.1 (2003). I have been writing COM servers and clients for about 5 years now. For the past 3 or 4 years, I have used the #import statement and the __uuidof operator with smart pointers to connect to my servers with no problem. Now when I try to use __uuidof() in a VS 7.1 client, it throws an exception "Class not registered" when it clearly is registered. Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks,
Royce

A better and safe way other than smart pointers is invoking the COM runtime and obtaining interface explicitly. Compile the IDL file to get a '.h' and '.c' file. Using CoCreateInstance and QueryInterface methods you can get interface without breaking the code in VC++ 6.0 as well as 7.0. If you are hardcore C++ programmer I suggest you use this method rather than smart pointers. If the same problem persists with this method then it really is a problem I can get with. You can get lotsa tuts on codeproject to using COM without smart pointers. If u need the code lemme know, I hav efunctional client-server code running. May ur problem be solved with this!!!

Mayur,
Yes, please post your code. I have never tried what you are talking about.
Thanks,

How is that safer? Raw interface pointers are almost always the source of memory leaks when dealing with COM. Raw interface pointers are for C programmers only, IMO.
Heck, COM is hard even with smart pointers. Why make it harder by using raw pointers?

I know COM is hard. And pointers in C++ is something people like to stay away But I'm a c++ fan and like to get things done the hard way! Also using smart pointers is something like setting references in VB and too 'unornamented' method to understand the workings of COM. /* And memory is sure to leak out of most progs unless u code with a cool head be it COM or C++ objects */
coding n debugging; two sides of same coin

Are you an error handling fetishist?

Maybe because I create a lot of errors in code and spend twice the time hunting for it

Uh.. __uuidof doesn't throw anything.

No, but it indirectly invokes CreateInstance() which throws.

There is nothing wrong in using smart pointers and __uuidof for accessing com object in vc7. it shud work fine. there shud be something else is wrong.
u created the com as a vc7 atl project and what type of .net project was ur client app?
