Another suggestion,

Im not too fond of the vtable and proto stuff anymore as its alot of overhead and can get you lost quite easily... As such, i've taken to the OLE32 macro that push's and calls by adding an offset to the pInterface to get the correct interface method.

The SAPI.COM i put together is formated for this with simple equates. Would it be also possible to add an options menu selection to spit 'Ernies' version with vtables and protos, or Ancev's version with only equates as i described? And place a basic proto line in a comment following it:

MyCom_QueryInterface               equ   00h

MyCom_Addref                       equ   04h

MyCom_Release                      equ   08h

MyCom_Method1                     equ  0ch   ; :DWORD,:DWORD,:WORD

I have to say, The above post was done with no knowledge of you reply.

I need to defend the fact that i would NEVER jump into tech talk without first admirring her, err, Interface first!

... Nice ... I long for the day of 3D T.V.

Another Suggestion:

In your auto-source.asm file:

just before the .code section add this line:

[b] _THIS TEXTEQU <(CTObjData ptr [edx])>[/b]

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.code

 

CreateCT PROC this_:DWORD

	pObjectData this_, edx

 

	; Zero the MyProp property

	xor eax, eax

	mov [b]_THIS[/b].m_MyProp, eax

 

	xor eax, eax

	ret

CreateCT ENDP

Makes things simpler... :alright:

Heres your PIC...

And by the way, I managed to write and run a compiled com from your wizard. Few bumps to get here, but it paying off! :alright:

Ya, just give it the Autorization its looking for and it will leave you alone...

Error Handling...

I wipped up some macros for Error handling with the Speech stuff.. I dunno if you want to add them to you macro file or no.. its really up to you:

;==============================================================

; E-Z COM Error Handling, by NaN, 2002  Rev 1.1

;==============================================================

IF_COM_ERROR MACRO COM_TXT

   LOCAL txtname



   .data

      txtname  db  COM_TXT,0

   .code

   .if eax != 0

      mov edx, offset txtname

      ret

   .endif

ENDM



EXIT_FUNCTION_OK  TEXTEQU <xor edx, edx>



FUNCTION_ERROR    TEXTEQU < (edx !!= NULL) >

Its made for function based routines, where you call a subfunction full of com stuff, and in the sub function it uses IF_COM_ERROR to return a string pointer describing the error is EDX !=0. As well, the return has the actual COM result in EAX still.

EXIT_FUNCTION is used to simply clear edx before leaving, so that a FALSE error is not triggered.

FUNCTION_ERROR is designed to work with the .if() macro upon return.

.if( FUNCTION_ERROR )

.else

.endif.


Anywho.. feel free to expand on it as well if you think its a good idea!

Sorry, guys.

I know you want the Wizard finished ASAP, but I just cannot get events to work correctly.

Its strange, but the methods, properties, and events work intermittently. :eek: :eek: :eek:

NaN, all of your suggestions have been implemented completely.

Any Ideas?

Xtreme,

how is this project going?

where can i download the latest version?

Thanks

I just need something like this.
