QAxAggregated Class

Member Function Documentation

[virtual protected] QAxAggregated::~QAxAggregated()

The destructor is called internally by Qt.

[protected] IUnknown *QAxAggregated::controllingUnknown() const

Returns the IUnknown interface of the ActiveX control. Implement the IUnknown interface in your QAxAggregated subclass to delegate calls to QueryInterface(), AddRef(), and Release() to the interface provided by this function.

  HRESULT AxImpl::QueryInterface(REFIID iid, void **iface)
  {
      return controllingUnknown()->QueryInterface(iid, iface);
  }

  ulong AxImpl::AddRef()
  {
      return controllingUnknown()->AddRef();
  }

  ulong AxImpl::Release()
  {
      return controllingUnknown()->Release();
  }

Instead of declaring and implementing these three functions manually, you can use the QAXAGG_IUNKNOWN macro in the class declaration of your subclass.

[protected] QObject *QAxAggregated::object() const

Returns a pointer to the QObject subclass implementing the COM object. This function might return 0.

Warning: You must not store the returned pointer, unless you use a QPointer, since the QObject can be destroyed by ActiveQt at any time.

[pure virtual] long QAxAggregated::queryInterface(const QUuid &iid, void **iface)

Reimplement this pure virtual function to support additional COM interfaces. Set the value of iface to point to this object to support the interface iid. Note that you must cast the this pointer to the appropriate superclass.

  long AxImpl::queryInterface(const QUuid &iid, void **iface)
  {
      *iface = 0;
      if (iid == IID_ISomeCOMInterface)
          *iface = (ISomeCOMInterface*)this;
      else
          return E_NOINTERFACE;

      AddRef();
      return S_OK;
  }

Return the standard COM results S_OK (interface is supported) or E_NOINTERFACE (requested interface is not supported).

Warning: Even though you must implement the IUnknown interface if you implement any COM interface you must not support the IUnknown interface in your queryInterface() implementation.

[protected] QWidget *QAxAggregated::widget() const

Returns a pointer to the QWidget subclass implementing the ActiveX control. This function might return 0.

Warning: You must not store the returned pointer, unless you use a QPointer, since the QWidget can be destroyed by ActiveQt at any time.
