error C2787: 'IQueryInfo' : no GUID has been associated with this object

Any thoughts on correcting this error?

Here is the source:

Jeff,

how did you define IQueryInfo in the IDL?

 

[Mike Frith]

Whoops!

scratch that.

Jeff,

how did you define IQueryInfo in the IDL?

Hi Jeff,

#include <shlobj.h>

// CPrjFileInfo

class ATL_NO_VTABLE CPrjFileInfo :
[...]
public IQueryInfo

BEGIN_COM_MAP(CPrjFileInfo)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IPrjFileInfo)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IDispatch)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IPersistFile)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IQueryInfo)
END_COM_MAP()

IQueryInfo is not declared with __declspec(uuid(...)), so the interface
definition doesn't have an associated IID. This means you need to do this:

#include <shlguid.h> // This carries IID_IQueryInfo

And in the COM map:
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY_IID(IID_IQueryInfo, IQueryInfo)

Also, if you look into shlguid.h, IID_IQueryInfo is guarded in _WIN32_IE >=
0x0400:

#if (_WIN32_IE >= 0x0400)
DEFINE_SHLGUID(IID_IQueryInfo, 0x00021500L, 0, 0);
#endif

so you need to #define this symbol in your stdafx.h or something, to agree
to depend on IE4 and upwards.

Hope that helps,
Kim

Kim,

Thanks, I'm up and running! _WIN32_IE was defined in my stdafx.h by default
with VC71.

I would never have figured out to use COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY_IID. I've been
using an example and instructions from CodeProject which are obviously
wrong.

Thanks again, Jeff

Sorry, but I am a newbie and I tried to follow

your directions but when I get to:

> to depend on IE4 and upwards.

What do I define where?

Thanks,
