COM: Example 3 2004-01-15 -- Andy Ireland Newsgroups: softvelocity.public.clarion6 (In response to Carl Barnes) Hi Carl, > Thanks for the quick reply. No time today but will review it closely tomorrow. > > Your classes don't have IShellLink but have IShellLinkDual. I prefer to stay > away from the extra complexity of variants in IDispatch interfaces. IShellLinkDual is the same as IShellLink. That came from my shell32.dll. Although my OS is a little strange and is in need of reinstalling. Dual means it's a dual interface i.e early bound rather than a dispatch interface which is otherwise known as an automation interface which is late bound via IDispatch. > The OleInitialize you refer to I think you found in Alexey's original code?

No you had that as a comment. > What is a LPCOLESTR? Alexey uses a BSTRING so I just left it that way. E.g. > IPersistFile::Save > HRESULT Save( > LPCOLESTR pszFileName, > BOOL fRemember > ); They are the same thing.
