Error creating OleControlSite [message #451435]

Wondering if someone might be able to help me out with an OleClientSite
creation error:

I have a 3rd party .exe which registers itself as an OLEServer when it is
first run.
A simple Visual Basic program using this COM object runs correctly.
However the same code in Java, using SWT's OleClientSite, gives an
ERROR_CANNOT_CREATE_OBJECT error when it tries to instanciate the
OleClientSite object.

Would anyone know what is going wrong when I use OleClientSite ?
The Visual Basic code and equivalent Java code is attached.

Thankyou

Michael Bishop

**======================== VB Code
========================================**
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim TMCVSClient As Object
Set TMCVSClient = CreateObject("TMCVSClient.TMCVSClientInterface")

Dim Result As Integer

Result = TMCVSClient.SelectCamera("1")

Set TMCVSClient = Nothing

End Sub

**========================= JAVA Code
====================================**
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
OleFrame frame = new OleFrame(shell, SWT.NONE);
OleControlSite controlSite = new OleControlSite(frame,
SWT.NONE,
"TMCVSClient.TMCVSClientInterface");

OleControlSite is for ActiveX controls only. It does not support generic
COM objects. My guess is that you are getting the error "-2147483644 No
such interface supported" which probably means that the COM object you are
trying to embed does not support the minimal set of interfaces required by
an ActiveX control.

Thanks Veronika for the reply,

I have also tried using OleClientSite in place of OleControlSite and I get
the same error :

org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to create Ole Client. result =
-2147221164
at org.eclipse.swt.ole.win32.OLE.error(OLE.java:302)
at org.eclipse.swt.ole.win32.OleClientSite.<init>(OleClientSite.java:238)

Maybe what I am doing is incorrect because I just want to call methods of
the Ole Automation object - I don't need to display it in the GUI.

Do you know if Eclipse has support for using an ActiveX Control that
doesn't need to be embedded in a Frame ?

Cheers

Michael Bishop

SWT does not have support for non-UI COm objects:

See:
