Make sure you can connect with odbcad32.exe before trying your code. Then visit connectionstrings.com for help.

Hi,
I'm marshalling some data in a timerproc thread using the GetInterfaceFromGlobal and Release function. However I noticed there is a high cpu usage when calling this function multiple times. Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks

Hello,
Here is my need,
For each Release, I need to delete some COM+ Components for an Application and install some newer version of the same.
Till day it is accomplished through COM+ Window, I go to Component Services+Computers+COM+ Applications+'Application'+Components and select the components and delete them. Once deleted right click on components and select New->Component and then browse to the new version of dll which install back the components.
I tried to accomplish it through Regcomplus.exe. Issue is, it installs new components but it deletes all existing components under the application leaving just the new ones.
Command executed is "RegComPlus.exe <dll file> <application name>"
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon Mandy

I have made a right-click drag-and-drop shell extension to copy specific project files. It's all working very well at copying files, but it freezes all instances of explorer.exe while it's doing its thing on bigger projects. A colleague told me to put sleep() somewhere in the copying function. I find this approach inelegant and possibly ineffective. There must be a way to make this more user- and thread-friendly. There was also talk of progress bars, but just one thing at a time...

Get IConnectionPointContainer interface of the application object, and get connection point to the events you want to catch. In this case, i think you have to deal with WorkBookEvents and DocEvents. Several documentations are available..
catching events from word
handling events for excel
create sink event for COM client
Use OLE-COM object viewer to get exact UUID of the events you want to trap.
best of luck.

I got the event of sheet change but still not getting the value of cell and its location i.e. row and col of cell in the function .
STDMETHODIMP CAppEventListener::HandleSheetChange( IDispatch* xlSheet,
IDispatch* xlRange)
{
OutputDebugString("HandleSheetChange\n");
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
return hr;
}

|

did u examine the xlRange value? I think it will contain the cell range where the event is fired. Try calling get_Text() on this range to get text in the cell.. see various methods on Range object..
|
|
|
|
|
but i am not getting the get_text() method . in this function .
Trioum
|
|
|
|
|
how did u try it? please show a bit of code..
|
|
|
|
|
STDMETHODIMP CAppEventListener::HandleSheetChange( IDispatch* xlSheet,
IDispatch* xlRange)
{
OutputDebugString("HandleSheetChange\n");
xlRange-> here not gettting text method
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
return hr;
}
Trioum

oh.. You did exactly as i guessed  . xlRange is Range object's IDispatch iterface. If you haven't already done, add a Range class (say CRange) to the project from EXCEL.exe using 'Add MFC Class from Typelib' wizard. Then
CRange oRange(xlRange);
See the methods on Range object now by using oRange. ----

Done it . but exe is crashing as I call getText()
Trioum

Now by lot of R&D problem is solved . Can you guide me for SheetCalculate event . its example is not given on the site.
Trioum
|
|
|
|
|
well done OLE automation may need some R&D most time.
You can catch SheetCalculate event in much the same way you did for SheetChange event. Mean, all reside in IAppEvent interface, so Advice() for it, and override the SheetCaluclate method.
<br />
HRESULT _stdcall SheetCalculate(IDispatch* pSheetDisp)<br />
{<br />
CWorkSheet oSheet(pSeetDisp);<br />
}<br />

I got it and do it , but facing one more problem as in case on "change event" I got the cell number i.e its row and column in which value is change . But "calculate event" fire when there is reference of another cell or cell containing formulae and when value change in such cell in this case I am not getting the cell no i.e cell row and column . this is my problem it become very tedious when I have the thousand of such cells having reference of various cells and formulaes. In this case I have to parse every cell to find out the value change . this become very slow for my project .I am searching the way to find out the cell row and column when there is calculate event fire .

Hello, I'm trying to add text-to-speech support to my emulator, this was simple to do on the Amiga version but is causing lots of headaches under Windows. 
I'm linking with the sapi.lib from the official Speech SDK 5.1, everything is compiling fine but I'm getting these linker errors:
ibm1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IVTxtNotifySinkA
ibm1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _CLSID_VTxt
ibm1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IVoiceTextA
Aren't these supposed to be defined in sapi.lib? So why am I still getting linker errors? I'm using Visual C 5.0 and WinXP SP2. Thanks.

Hello,
How to iterate (infact access) the vtable of COM coclass(that will implement the methods of its exposed interfaces).?
Only I need to access vtable where all addresses of exposed methods of its interfaces are stored.
e.g Say
Math is COM object
and its exposed interface is "Operations"
and "Sum" is the method of this interface.
I need the address of "Sum"
Regards
Muhammad Usman Khalil

Checking the first 4 bytes of the location pointed to by the interface pointer returned by CoCreateInstance() function might give you the address of vtable (I have not tried it). But why do you want to do this?
|
|
|
|
|
I need to call all the functions of COM Interface exposed methods at runtime.
For this I need to access vtable of COM coclass where all addresses of exposed methods of its interfaces are stored.
e.g Say
Math is COM object
and its exposed interface is "Operations"
and "Sum" is the method of this interface.
I need the address of "Sum", so that I can call it on run time. Just like you use loadlibrary for DLL and adter passing functional address, using GetProcAddress we can call function at runtime.
Here in COM same I need to do. But here no LoadLibrary , and no GetProcAddress. Just we need to iterate vtable and one by one we'll get the addresses of methods and we'll call these methods on run time.
Any Suggestions?
