- CONNECT
-
- This sample illustrates the use and implementation of connection
- points (the ICOnnectionPointContainer and IConnectionPoint interfaces)
- in a multithreaded environment.
-
- The server is implemented in the CONNECT.DLL. This DLL allows the
- creation of a CoRandom COM object, implemented by the CRandom C++
- class. The COM object supports IRandom (a dual interface) and
- IConnectionPointContainer, and it accepts connections for the
- IRandomEvent interface.
-
- The IRandom interface supports the following methods:
- Start(): starts a thread inside the object
- Stop(): stops a thread inside the object
- StopAll(): stops all the running threads
-
- When running, the secondary threads inside the object keep firing
- events through the connection point.
-
- Two clients are provided: DRIVE and MDRIVE. They can be found in
- the DRIVE and MDRIVE subdirectories.
-
- DRIVE.EXE is a simple console application that provides a single
- object implementing the IRandomEvent interface. It creates a
- CoRandom object, calls Advise()/Unadvise() on the connection
- point, and has the CoRandom object fire events into the drive's object.
-
- MDRIVE.EXE is an MFC dialog based application, able to create
- multiple advise sinks and to control the number of threads the
- server creates.
-
- HOW TO RUN IT:
-
- Build CONNECT.DLL and register it. You can build and run DRIVE.EXE
- from a console, or build and run MDRIVE.EXE directly from
- Developer Studio.
