problem about ole-Collection of common programming errors

c++ windows winapi ole
Under what circumstances will the Win32 API function OleGetClipboard() fail and return CLIPBRD_E_CANT_OPEN?More background: I am assisting with a Firefox bug fix. Details here:bug 444800 – cannot retrieve image data from clipboard in lossless formatIn the automated test that I helped write, we see that OleGetClipboard() sometimes fails and returns CLIPBRD_E_CANT_OPEN. That is unexpected, and the Firefox code to pull image data off the Windows clipboard depends on that call succeeding.

c++ windows winapi clipboard ole
I’m trying to do the following trick:I have IDataObject* to be set into the clipboard, so I’m using OleSetClipboard() to set it into the clipboard. I have another CLIPFORMAT I want to add to the clipboard, but I can’t do it with OleSetClipboard() because the IDataObject* I receive does not implement SetData() method. So, to overcome this limitation I OpenClipboard() with GetClipboardOwner(), this way, I can SetClipboardData() to the clipboard without EmptyClipboard() first.Now, it all works well

I try to migrate a code from VB6 to VB.NET.I wanted to get the integer value of vbGreen in VB.NET.In VB6 “vbGreen” relates to 65280. Now when I do ColorTranslator.ToOle(Color.Green)… it returns 32768.Does anybody see where I go wrong?Thank you!

c# .net multithreading com ole
I haven’t used OLE/COM for quite some time as a developer, but I currently have a need to use some 3rd party OCX code libraries from a C# program.The C# program uses threading (it’s a TCP socket server). The OCXs are marked as Apartment threading model. From my reading, I concluded that if I was careful to create one instance of each OCX per thread, and only to use that instance from the thread that created it, I should be OK.I did also do:-myThread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);before

I have written an Outlook plugin in Delphi 2009 that opens a database connection and does some tasks to accompany my main application. When Outlook is now closed it raises an 800A01A8 ole error, but only if you had about 10 outlook-explorer windows open. Another important point is that that only happens occasionally when you use File\Exit to close all windows at once, but much more often, even so not always, when you close them all at once using the windows taskbar close all feature.

I need a low level OLE control for reading, creating and modifying pdf files. I will use it with Visual FoxPro. By low level I mean that I won’t need any extra software to install on the client machine.Long story short, I need something like iText.Preferably free or cheap. Thanks.

I have some serious problem. We have in our application plugged in an external ole plugin in our eclipse rcp client. This plugin causes some error while running, which then kills the entire client.Since we cannot fix the problem, we want to catch that error, so that the client at least won’t crash. To be more precise, the client crashes because the JVM caused a fatal error. Is there any possibility to suppress those errors, to avoid the JVM from crashing?This is the code where we include the plu

I have a question related to managing OLE objects in a RichTextBox.What I’ve found so far is lots of info, but not exactly what I need, so I will make a quick introduction first (I also hope someone might find this helpful).1. What I know so farFirst of all, I am using OLE to insert images (or any ActiveX) into the RichTextBox. This is supposed to be “the right way” to do it, since there is no clipboard involved, and you can insert any ActiveX control you want. There is an article on CodeProject

This MSDN article states that any ProgID must meet several formal requirements, length restriction included. However nothing is said about what happens if those are violated.I found several places in our codebase where ProgIDs are longer than 39 characters, still everything seems to work allright for them, ProgIDFromCLSID() and CLSIDFromProgID() included.Since violating those requirements is quite easy it would be very interesting to know what are the real possible consequences of such violation
