Finally, we have successfully developed our COM component HelloComponent using C++. Let’s summarize how we developed our COM component in this article. Microsoft’s Component Object Model (COM) is a specification to allow to write of reusable components and enables them to communicate with each other. COM depends on interfaces to achieve its goals. One of […]
As of now we have created our COM component. Now it is the time to test our component. In this article we are going to create a C++ client application to test our component. Usually we need to follow the below steps while creating a component test application. Initialize COM library Create an instance of […]
In our previous article, we have packaged a component into a DLL. Now we will look at how to register the component. Registering a COM component means, adding necessary registry entries into Windows Registry. COM library will pick up the component depending on the added registry entries and create an instance of it. Because of […]
In this series of articles on creating a COM Component using C++, in the previous article, we implemented a component using C++. The component implemented the IUnknown standard interface and IHello custom interface. Custom interfaces are the interfaces defined by us. Standard interfaces are the interfaces that are defined by the COM component library. We need to […]
