I've been doing quite a bit of googling trying to find the standard way to get an instance of a COM interface. Microsoft provides an example of this in their article COM Interop Part 1: Client Tutorial : // Create an instance of a COM coclass: FilgraphManager graphManager = new FilgraphManager(); // See if it supports the IMediaControl COM interface. // Note that this will throw a System.InvalidCastException if // the cast fails. This is equivalent to QueryInterface for // COM objects: IMediaControl mc = (IMediaControl) graphManager; // Now you call a method on a COM interface: mc.Run();

I am trying to automate the task of printing two copies at double page of ~30 Word document (*.doc). I want to send the program converted to .exe (I plan it just for Windows computers) using py2exe . I know that I can manually check the options but I will not be able to do so on the 20 or so computer where it will be used, as well as I cannot install in this computers new software (That's why I want to convert it into .exe ). I copied this solution to print, but I can't adapt it to do what I want: from win32com import client import time word = client.Dispatch("Word.Application") filename=input

I had to change to directshow for my eyetracking software due to the difficulties to change resolution of the camera when using c++ and opencv. Directshow is new to me and it is kind of hard to understand everything. But I found this nice example that works perfectly for capturing & viewing the web cam. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/12869/Real-time-video-image-processing-frame-grabber-usi I am using the version that not requires directShow SDK. (But it is still directshow that is used in the example, right??) #include <windows.h> #include <dshow.h> #pragma comment(lib,"Strmiids.lib")

I'm trying to asynchronously run function in my add-on for Internet Explorer (I'm writing BHO in VC++). As suggested here I'm trying to use CWorkerThread. I've been trying to figure it out for hours but still have no idea how to do it. I don't have much experience in ATL. The lack of a good documentations or tutorials on Internet is killing me. I'm creating class by Add->Class and choosing ATL Simple Object (that's how you add classed to ATL project right?). But how to implement this IWorkerThreadClient? I thought that choosing Add->Implement Interface in Class View would be good but there is

I have a class: public class A { public delegate void SetTextDel(string value); public void Test() { SetTextDel setText = someInterface.SetText; icom.Set(setText); } } [ComVisible(true), Guid("81C99F84-AA95-41A5-868E-62FAC8FAC263"), InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsDual)] public interface Icom { void Set(Delegate del); } [ComVisible(true)] [Guid("6DF6B926-8EB1-4333-827F-DD814B868097")] [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] [ComDefaultInterface(typeof(Icom))] public class B : Icom { Set(Delegate del) { del.DynamicInvoke("some text"); } } And I get targetinvocation exception in Set

Forgive me if my terminology is off, as this is somewhat uncharted territory for me. I have a program which needs to create a FolderShortcut . Microsoft has documentation on how to create it in C++, and I'm trying to translate the directions to C#. The instructions state that the CoCreateInstance function needs to be called with CLSID_FolderShortcut as a parameter, which I infer to mean that it's instantiating a COM object. The CLSID for this object is {0AFACED1-E828-11D1-9187-B532F1E9575D} . I've tried adding a reference to Shell32.dll from the COM tab, but the FolderShortcut object does not

When I add a reference to Office COM Library, I to go: References Add Reference Select the COM tab Select Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library And magically named reference appears: Microsoft.Office.Core The Project.csproj file shows the details of the reference: <COMReference Include="Microsoft.Office.Core"> <Guid>{2DF8D04C-5BFA-101B-BDE5-00AA0044DE52}</Guid> <VersionMajor>2</VersionMajor> <VersionMinor>4</VersionMinor> <Lcid>0</Lcid> <WrapperTool>primary</WrapperTool> <Isolated>False</Isolated> </COMReference> i check the project into source control, and now nobody else can build the

I recently developed an interop user control in .NET (Visual Studio 2008, project targetting .NET 2.0) to be used in a VB6 application. The assembly exposes 1 control, 1 class, and a few enums and structs. I developed it using C# translations of the Interop Forms Toolkit 2.0 project template found here . The assembly has a strong name and gets installed in the GAC and registered with regasm with the following script: @"C:\gacutil.exe" /i "C:\Program Files\AppName\Control.dll" /f @"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe" "C:\Program Files\AppName\Control.dll" /tlb:"C:\Program

I want to use a System.Windows.Forms.Timer to ensure that an event fires on the UI thread of an excel addin I'm creating. I construct the timer as follows: private System.Windows.Forms.Timer _timer; private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Debug.WriteLine("ThisAddIn_Startup:" + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); _timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer(); _timer.Tick += new EventHandler(TimerEventHandler); _timer.Interval = 500; } The timer is fired by a COM event from a library I am using: private void OnEvent() { _timer.Start(); } I then expect the _timer to
