P/Invoke problem

Hi folks,

I have some serious problems with one of the API calls ...

I try to use :

[DllImport("olea cc.dll",CharSet =CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern long AccessibleObjec tFromWindow (
long hwnd,
long dwId,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.Struct )]UUID riid,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.Interf ace)]object ppvObject);

public struct UUID
{
public long Data1;
public int Data2;
public int Data3;
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.ByValA rray,SizeConst= 8)]
public byte[] Data4;
}
public static void TestAA()
{
UUID uid;
uid.Data1 = (long)0x618736e 0;
uid.Data2 = (int)0x3c3d;
uid.Data3 = (int)0x11cf;
uid.Data4 = new Byte[8];
uid.Data4[0] = (byte)0x81;
uid.Data4[1] = (byte)0x0c;
uid.Data4[2] = (byte)0x00;
uid.Data4[3] = (byte)0xaa;
uid.Data4[4] = (byte)0x00;
uid.Data4[5] = (byte)0x38;
uid.Data4[6] = (byte)0x9b;
uid.Data4[7] = (byte)0x71;

IAccessible accObj = null;

long ret = AccessibleObjec tFromWindow
(wHandle,OBJID_ WINDOW,uid,accO bj);

but always get a E_INVALIDARG return value.

I also tried

[DllImport("olea cc.dll",CharSet =CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern long AccessibleObjec tFromWindow (
long hwnd,
long dwId,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.Struct )]UUID riid,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.AsAny)]object ppvObject);
could someone give me a hint where I make my mistake ?

thx :)

Sven,
[DllImport("olea cc.dll",CharSet =CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern long AccessibleObjec tFromWindow (
long hwnd,
long dwId,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.Struct )]UUID riid,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.Interf ace)]object ppvObject);


I would declare it as

[DllImport("olea cc.dll", PreserveSig=fal se)]
[return: MarshalAs(Unman agedType.Interf ace)]
public static extern object AccessibleObjec tFromWindow (
IntPtr hwnd,
uint dwId,
ref Guid riid);

And call it with

Guid uid = new Guid("618736e0-3c3d-11cf-810c-00aa00389b71");
IAccessible accObj = (IAccessible)Ac cessibleObjectF romWindow(wHand le,
OBJID_WINDOW, ref uid);

Hi Mattias,

what to say...... you just became my personal hero :)

works perfectly...... and I'd never have thought about
Guid uid = new Guid("618736e0-3c3d-11cf-810c-
00aa00389b71") by myself ....

thx a lot :)

Hi guys. I have two threads: a main thread and a background thread. Lots of stuff happens in the background thread that means I have to update several (lots) of controls on a form.

I need a thread to run a subroutine which updates my main form's progress bar. I've properly marshaled all UI updates to the main UI thread, and after the main thread starts the worker thread, it waits for the worker thread to complete by means of a while t.isAlive, sleep(0) mechanism. But when my worker thread calls my UpdateProgressBar routine, which calls Me.Invoke, the invoke call blocks forever. But I can't figure out why the main...
