Coming Up "Short" on Result [message #446730] Wed, 01 December 2004 19:27 Go to next message

Hi all,
I am having problems accessing the properties of ActiveX Object
(VRML plugin browser) through the swt classes
OLEControlSite and OLEAutomation:

cortonaSite = new OleControlSite(frame, SWT.NONE, "Cortona.Control.1");
cortonaAuto = new OleAutomation(cortonaSite);
cortonaSite.doVerb(OLE.OLEIVERB_INPLACEACTIVATE);

Here is the error being thrown from the above snippet of code:
createContents()
org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to create Ole Client. result =
-2147418113
at org.eclipse.swt.ole.win32.OLE.error(OLE.java:302) at
org.eclipse.swt.ole.win32.OleControlSite.<init>(OleControlSite.java:1
00)
at AppGraph.createContents(AppGraph.java:39)
at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.create(Window.java:356)
at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.open(Window.java:661)
at AppGraphT.run(AppGraphT.java:20)

I looked at the OLEControlSite class and know that
the "result" variant has to be 0 and not -2147418113
for it to continue.
On further investigation I discovered an interesting
relationship between difference of the result and the
maximum negative range of the int type:

-2,147,483,648
-2,147,418.113
-----------------
65,535
This figure is the total range of a 16 bit short type:
-32,768 to 32,767
The distant between these two figures is 65,535 units.

For the moment I am stuck, any ideas on where to go from
here to stop coming up "short" ?

thanx
Russ Kinter

Your error is:

0x8000FFFF -2147418113 Catastrophic failure

I am afraid I don't know anything about the Cortona activeX control.

Try inserting the activeX control into Microsoft Word and see if you succeed
(Insert -> Object - select Cortona from the list). This is a good litmus
test of whether the activeX control is correctly installed for embedding.
