Unsatisfied forward declaration?

M

Mervin Williams

If I BUILD the code below, all works fine. But if I REBUILD the solution
at any time, the following errors are found in the WrapperCOMEXE.idl:

1) error MIDL2337 : unsatisfied forward declaration :
IQBEventCallBack
[Coclass 'MyWrapper' ] --> This error occurs within the
MyWrapper Coclass
definition at the line that reads: "[default] interface
IQBEventCallBack;"

2) warning MIDL2015 : failed to load tlb in importlib: :
sdkevent.dll -->
This warning occurs in the importlib statement that reads:
"importlib("sdkevent.dll");".

Here's the WrapperCOMEXE.idl code:

// EventWrapperCOMEXE.idl : IDL source for EventWrapperCOMEXE

//

// This file will be processed by the MIDL tool to

// produce the type library (EventWrapperCOMEXE.tlb) and marshalling code.

import "oaidl.idl";

import "ocidl.idl";

};

};

Please help!

Presumably sdkevent.dll is built for a previous project in your
solution. Ensure you make that project a dependency for this
project, so the DLL (its output) is already built.

I am not a C++ programmer. The sdkevent.dll is already created. How do I
make it a dependency?
