Hit the snag with CoCreateGuid - Forums

Home » Forums » MAIN » Hit the snag with CoCreateGuid

I get error trying to use CoCreateGuid. I define:


.data 	
PG TYPEDEF PTR GUID
.data ?
lpGUID PG ?

The following line in the code


invoke CoCreateGuid, lpGUID

is checked against eax == S_OK which is never valid. ??? vesa

Hit the snag with CoCreateGuid

my following c code works:



GUID myguid;
CoCreateGuid(&mguid);

so try

.data ?
lpGUID GUID <>

invoke CoCreateGuid, &lpGUID

Hit the snag with CoCreateGuid

The GUID is defined in windows.inc, so you need not worry there. First, you need create one as a place holder for the result, either as .data or a LOCAL:


.data
MyGuid1 GUID  <>  ; not initialized

MyProc PROC params:DWORD
  LOCAL  MyOtherGuid:GUID

  invoke CoCreateGuid, ADDR MyGuid1
  invoke CoCreateGuid, ADDR MyOtherGuid

  ret
ENDP

OK, it's not a very useful example, as I don't use the GUIDS I cause to be created, but you should get the idea now how to use this API.

I have GUID creation program. It's for NASM. Probably this may help you.

vineon, ernie, sjhenry Thanks for your replies! I misunderstood the explanations in in the Platform SDK. Now it works. vesa
