Hello. I've also posted this on the OT list, but since I didn't get an
answer, I though I'd give it a try here.
I'm building a component which is going to be consumed as an ActiveX
control. Since VB6 uses the interface ICategorizeProperties to get the
correct category for a property, I thought that I could implement that
interface so that I could build a more personalized component.
the problem i'm facing is related with this method:
HRESULT GetCategoryName (
PROPCAT propcat,
LCID lcid,
BSTR *pbstrName
);
I've tried several signatures (using C#), but it seems that I can't
pass it correctly to VB6 (at least I see some strange characters
instead of the name of the category).
I've tried to build the method with this signature:
uint GetCategoryName (
int PROPCAT,
uint lcid,
out string pbstrName
)
{
if( PROPCAT == PROPCAT_MyCat )
{
pbstrName = "catName";
return KnownHResults.S_OK; //same as S_OK for COM
}
}
And I also have tried this approach:
uint GetCategoryName (
int PROPCAT,
uint lcid,
out IntPtr pbstrName
)
{
if( PROPCAT == PROPCAT_MyCat )
{
pbstrName = Marshal.StringToBSTR( "catName" );
return KnownHResults.S_OK; //same as S_OK for COM
}
}
Can anyone please give me some clues on what's wrong with this code? thanks.
