I am developing an UI application that creates a COM object along the way. The problem is, I want to \"move\" this COM object entirely on a different thread.
What I
I have finally achieved what I wanted! Adding a CoUninitialize call in the main UI thread, before creating the new thread has solved it. This happens because STA COM objects will be handled on the thread that first calls CoInitialize. Now all the calls to the objects methods are reported to be executed on the thread I created and the main window of the object (the COM component has a Form) is reported to belong to it too! (used WinSpy++ to test that).
There is still a question (and a problem) though..why does it behave this way? Everywhere I search on the internet I see answers telling that a STA COM component will be fully executed on the thread it is created on (provided that CoInitialize or CoInitializeEx with COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED had been called before), no matter what. Why does it matter if I called CoInitialize on another thread before..that's just plain stupid in my opinion for Microsoft to do so :), plus it might damage the future behaviour of my application, as I stated before.
EDIT: The correct answer is the one posted by Frost. Thank you again.
