This structure has following members: { BSTR m_sFirst; BSTR m_sSecond; VARIANT m_vChildStruct; //This member encapsulate a sub structure SAFEARRAY __RPC_FAR * m_saArray; }CustomINFO; I am allocating the memory for the structs using CoTaskMemAlloc and encapsulating it in Varian...
So I tried moving my project to Visual C++ Express 2010 on Windows 7 from a previous version on Windows XP. I got all sorts of errors where atlbase.h was not found. This isn't so much a question but I wanted to document what my resolution was for others. Copied the following PlatformSDK files from my previous install and put them on m...

I want to use it on the webpage, but at the install window the name is MyActiveX.cab with no link. the MyActiveX.cab name can be changed by modifying the html page's tag codebase attribute. but the name is still format like "XXX.cab" with no hyperlink. I find a a...

After finding this article (See:Problem 2) on how changes in VC10 compiler might effect previous...
Hi, I have an ATL COM object that I am using from C#. The interface currently looks like: interface ICHASCom : IDispatch{ [id(1), helpstring("method Start")] HRESULT Start([in] BSTR name, [out,retval] VARIANT_BOOL* result); ... [id(4), helpstring("method GetCount")] HRESULT GetCount([out,retval] LONG* numPorts); ... [id(7)...

I want to creating an addin that captures when a {contact, calendar, task, note} is {created, edited, removed}. I have the following code, to make it shorter I removed all the code but the related to contact, since all types will be the same I guess. AutoSync.h class ATL_NO_VTABLE AutoSync : public wxPanel, public IDispEventSimpleIm...
I have a StartComObjects function called when the user presses the Login button and a StopComObjects function called when the user presses the Cancel button. The StartComObjects function uses CComPtr.CoCreateInstance to create the COM object and sets up some connection points using AfxConnectionAdvise. When the user presses the Cancel ...
My bho (Browser Helper Object) is a sidebar (right-sided iframe) that needs to be opened/closed by clicking the status bar icon in IE (IE8). I didn't find any informations for clickable icons. Anyone knows wich interface to use to do that. Thank you. (I'm using ATL: Active Template Library). If anyone need precisions, please ask. I'll be...
Is there a way to grab (in real time, like a onKeyPressed, return what is pressed) what the user types in the address bar. Currently in IE, it offers you a matching list from history depending of what you type. I'm looking for a way to get some sort of handle to the address bar and then listen to what the user is typing. I'm doing a BHO(...

Hello, I have written a COM object that in turn uses a thrid party ActiveX control. In my FinalConstruct() for my COM object, I instantiate the ActiveX control with the follow code: HRESULT hRes; LPCLASSFACTORY2 pClassFactory; hRes = CoInitializeEx(NULL,COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED); bool bTest = SUCCEEDED(hRes); if (!bTest) r...
I'm using code that treats an array of derived objects as an array of base objects. The size of both objects is the same. I'm wondering: Is this safe in practice, bearing in mind that the code will only ever be compiled on Microsoft compilers? Here's my example: BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(VARIANT)==sizeof(CComVariant)); //auto_arra...
Hi, Sorry to ask such a basic question but I seem to have a brain freeze on this one! I'm calling a COM (ATL) object from my WPF project. The COM method might take a long time to complete. I thought I'd try and call it asychronously. I have a few demo lines that show the problem. private void checkBox1_Checked(object sender, Routed...
I created ATL COM-server in VC++ 2005. I want to realize some interface defined in some library (*.olb). I know I will see the interface if I #import this olb (in .tlh.tli). But I cannot create stub realization for the interface with "Implement interface wizard" because this interface is absent in "Interfaces" list (both for "Registry" a...
I'm still feeling my way around C++, and am a complete ATL newbie, so I apologize if this is a basic question. I'm starting with an existing VC++ executable project that has functionality I'd like to expose as an ActiveX object (while sharing as much of the source as possible between the two projects). I've approached this by adding ...
Hi, Purify is pointing memory leak in ole32.dll while returning a Variant with VT set to VT_RECORD as OUT parameter. I am using User Marshalling by generating proxy/stub dll from IDL. Can you suggest how to avoid this memory leak? Struct defined in IDL: { BSTR m_sFirst; BSTR m_sSecond; VARIANT m_vChildStruct; //This member encapsulate...
