C ++ ATL Member Variable Access Help

I am not familiar with this and can use the starting strike.

I am using an ATL custom control (unmanaged C ++) and would like to use a ShockWave ActiveX object. I need to know how to declare it so that I can set a property or call a method.

For example, if I could assign a variable to it, I would like to call "variable-> LoadMovie ()"

I know it's super funny ... almost embarrassing to ask about it here.;) (Almost)

If you #import dll (which I recommend when working with COM because it makes your life so much easier), you can use a smart pointer paired with the CLSID of the object. Remember that the smart pointer classes have "Ptr" after the interface name after you fix them.

For example:

ISomeInterfacePtr pSomeInterface( CLSID_SomeComponent );
HRESULT hr = pSomeInterface->SomeMethod();


Hope it helps.

EDIT: If you want to check the HRESULT for an allocation, you can do the following:

ISomeInterfacePtr pSomeInterface = 0;
HRESULT hr = pSomeInterface.CreateInstance( CLSID_SomeComponent );

I cut and paste the required code so many times that I can't remember the exact syntax, but you need:

get CComPtr <> of the correct interface, CreateInstance a QueryInterface object to get the required interface (if you are not using CComPtr)



then call methods on it.

Alternatively you can #import dll, then the compiler will generate C ++ class with all methods and properties for you.
