    @ChrisW67 said in How to call Registeration-Free COM dll?:

    @Bruce-Zhang As far as I can see: You use the manifest file to get the COM object into the application's execution context at start up (Windows does this for you). Then you can use the ActiveQt classes exactly the same way you would for a registered COM object.

    That's a great idea! One of QAxObject's constructors takes an IUnknown ptr so one way to do it would be to LoadLibrarying the dll, call DllGetClassObject() and CreateInstance() on the returned IClassFactory. Then construct a QAxObject from the IUnknown you got from CreateInstance() and Bob's your uncle.

    P.S. I don't think that code in that ancient QtBug suggestion actually works, it's more of "how it could be written" once ActiveQt starts supporting .manifest files...

    Thank you for responding, @hskoglund. Can you please provide a straightforward demonstration of this? I would greatly appreciate it.

      Hi, here's a demo for you, first you need a COM dll to test on, I built the ActiveQt Wrapper Example using Qt 6.5.2 and MSVC 2019 64-bits (got an linker error when building so that regsvr32 failed, but it doesn't matter, it's not needed since we're working registry-free :-)

      Then create a console app (Untitled), I used the same Qt 6.5.2 and MSVC 2019 64-bits compiler. Note: I created the app with qmake (not CMake).
      Change untitled.pro to look like this:

      QT       = core axcontainer
      CONFIG  += c++17 cmdline
      SOURCES += main.cpp
      

      and change main.cpp to look like this:

      #include <QCoreApplication>
      
      #include "qaxobject.h"
      #include "quuid.h"
      #include "qlibrary.h"
      #include "qdebug.h"
      #include "atlbase.h"
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          Q_UNUSED(argc) Q_UNUSED(argv)
      
      // load a COM flavored DLL without using the registry (here we use the Wrapper example)
          QLibrary regFreeLib("C:/Qt/Examples/Qt-6.5.2/activeqt/build-wrapper-Desktop_Qt_6_5_2_MSVC2019_64bit-Release/wrapperax.dll");
      
      // wire up the DllGetClassObject function so we can call it
          auto regFreeGetDllClassObject = reinterpret_cast<HRESULT (__stdcall *)(REFCLSID,REFIID,LPVOID*)> (regFreeLib.resolve("DllGetClassObject"));
          if (nullptr == regFreeGetDllClassObject)
              qFatal("wiring up DLLGetClassObject() failed");
      
      // try to call it
          CComPtr<IClassFactory> pClassFactory;
          HRESULT hr = regFreeGetDllClassObject(QUuid("{6E795DE9-872D-43CF-A831-496EF9D86C68}"),IID_IClassFactory,(LPVOID*) &pClassFactory);
          if (FAILED(hr))
              qFatal("calling DLLGetClassObject() failed");
      
      // and then obtain the IUnknown ptr
          CComPtr<IUnknown> pUnknown;
          hr = pClassFactory->CreateInstance(nullptr,IID_IUnknown,(LPVOID*) &pUnknown);
          if (FAILED(hr))
              qFatal("createInstance() failed");
      
      // if we get this far Bob's your uncle, let Qt take it from here
          auto comObject = new QAxObject(pUnknown);
          if (nullptr == comObject)
              qFatal("QAxObject creation failed");
      
      // as a test, fiddle with checked property of the QCheckBox
          comObject->setProperty("checked",true);
          qDebug() << comObject->property("checked");
          comObject->setProperty("checked",false);
          qDebug() << comObject->property("checked");
      }
      

      P.S. If you get a compiler error: "cannot find qaxobject.h" then you might have forgotten to add the "Active Qt" component to your Qt (can be found inside "Additional Libraries" in the Qt Maintainer).

          Hi forgot to mention: how did I find that GUID QUuid("{6E795DE9-872D-43CF-A831-496EF9D86C68}")? It's from line 68 in main.cpp in the Wrapperax example, it's one of the 3 classIDs listed (you can use any one of the 3).

          For your dll, you need to find the relevant CLSID, in the manifest file look for the comclass line.
          For example, the manifest file shown in that ancient QtBug suggestion shows:

          ...
          <comClass clsid="{6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6}" 
          ...
          

          If you want to use that and open the Windows Media Player dll (wmp.dll) instead, change my demo code above to:

          // load a COM flavored DLL without using the registry (here we use wmp.dll)
              QLibrary regFreeLib("wmp.dll");
          
          // wire up the DllGetClassObject function so we can call it
              auto regFreeGetDllClassObject = reinterpret_cast<HRESULT (__stdcall *)(REFCLSID,REFIID,LPVOID*)> (regFreeLib.resolve("DllGetClassObject"));
              if (nullptr == regFreeGetDllClassObject)
                  qFatal("wiring up DLLGetClassObject() failed");
          
          // try to open the Windows Media Player:
              CComPtr<IClassFactory> pClassFactory;
              HRESULT hr = regFreeGetDllClassObject(QUuid("{6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6}"),IID_IClassFactory,(LPVOID*) &pClassFactory);
              if (FAILED(hr))
                  qFatal("calling DLLGetClassObject() failed");
          

          To check that you managed to open the dll correctly, one way is to add a call generateDocumentation at the end, like this:

          ,,,
          
          // if we get this far we're in business, let Qt take it from here
              auto comObject = new QAxObject(pUnknown);
              if (nullptr == comObject)
                  qFatal("QAxObject creation failed");
          
          // check that we have something live
              qDebug() << comObject->generateDocumentation();
          

          the output (if it works) should have some HTML code (save it to a HTML file to view it properly).

          Finally, you need to match the bitness of your dll (it it's 32-bits you need to compile a 32-bits Qt app and the other way around). Normally the COM infrastructure allows 32-bit/64-bit crossplaying by loading the .dll out-of-process, but since you're doing LoadLbrary() you are closer to the metal.

            @hskoglund I works for wmp.dll, but don't know why failed on my dll at bellow line:

            if (nullptr == regFreeGetDllClassObject)
                    qFatal("wiring up DLLGetClassObject() failed");
            

            And GetLastError code is 126, which is cannot find the DLL, maybe the DLL is invalid? but I can use it in my msvc project.

              If you get an error 126: if you didn't specify a path to the .dll check that it's placed together with the .exe (or one directory level above if you're running from inside Qt Creator).
              To make sure add a qDebug on an explicit .load(), say like this:

              ...
                  QLibrary regFreeLib("wmp.dll");
                  qDebug() << "dll loaded ok: " << regFreeLib.load();
              ...
              

              Also make sure all the other .dlls that your .dll is dependent on are loaded ok (i.e. another reason for error 126).
              If you're stuck, fire up ProcessMonitor :-)

                  Once you're in the COM world, GetLastError() is less interesting.
                  You need the qdebug dump the hr (HResult) that GetDllClassObjet returned. Preferable in hex, something like 0x80040154 will be shown...

                    I've got the error code 0x80040111:In this specific case, the error code "80040111" translates to "CLASS_E_CLASSNOTAVAILABLE" Seems the specified class is not correct. I don't know why got this error, the GUID was wrong?

                      Yeah you got bad luck and selected the wrong GUID :-( That one at the top is the library UUID, but we're only interested in coclass-flavored UUIDs (i.e. that is what DllGetClassObject wants).
                      They're usually found at the end of an .idl file, in your case:

                        @hskoglund Finally, I can run it now, but with some error output.
                        bellow is my code snippet:

                         LPVOID rev = nullptr;
                            CoInitialize(rev);// Add this line because there will be  another output  of missing the CoInitialize. 
                        
                            // load a COM flavored DLL without using the registry (here we use the Wrapper example)
                            QLibrary regFreeLib("DataTypesLibrary.dll");
                            qDebug() << "dll loaded ok: " << regFreeLib.load();
                        
                            // wire up the DllGetClassObject function so we can call it
                            auto regFreeGetDllClassObject = reinterpret_cast<HRESULT(__stdcall*)(REFCLSID, REFIID, LPVOID*)> (regFreeLib.resolve("DllGetClassObject"));
                        
                            if (nullptr == regFreeGetDllClassObject)
                            {
                                auto err = GetLastError();
                                QString str = QString("GetLastError():%1").arg(err);
                                qFatal("wiring up DLLGetClassObject() failed");
                            }
                        
                            // try to call it
                            CComPtr<IClassFactory> pClassFactory;
                            HRESULT hr = regFreeGetDllClassObject(QUuid("{0b4be3c3-f304-4f98-a870-e2933dee5b7e}"), IID_IClassFactory, (LPVOID*) &pClassFactory);
                        
                            if (FAILED(hr))
                            {
                                auto err = GetLastError();
                                QString str = QString("DLLGetClassObject GetLastError():%1 HRESULT:%2").arg(err).arg(hr, 8,  16, QLatin1Char('0'));
                                qFatal(str.toStdString().c_str());
                            }
                        
                            for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
                            {
                                // and then obtain the IUnknown ptr
                                CComPtr<IUnknown> pUnknown;
                                hr = pClassFactory->CreateInstance(nullptr, IID_IUnknown, (LPVOID*) &pUnknown);
                        
                                if (FAILED(hr))
                                    qFatal("createInstance() failed");
                        
                                // if we get this far we're in business, let Qt take it from here
                                auto comObject = new QAxObject(pUnknown);
                                auto pEventData = reinterpret_cast<DataTypesLibraryLib::IEventData*>(comObject);
                                pEventData->SetCD(20.22);
                                qDebug() << "CD:" << pEventData->CD();
                                delete pEventData;
                        
                            }
                        
                            qDebug() << "This is the End";
                        

                        And bellow is the output when exec "pEventData->SetCD(20.22);" each loop.

                        BTW: I generated the .h & .cpp using "dumpcpp DataTypesLibrary.dll". And DataTypesLibraryLib::IEventData is from the .h file.

                          Hi, dumpcpp can be a useful tool but it does not support RegistrationFree COM dlls. Usually the .cpp code generated (in DataTypesLibrarylib.cpp) will, in the constructor, include a call to QAxWidget->setControl(), and that call relies on the registry to work :-(
                          And that's probably why you get that error "Library not registered".

                          Once you've started using a QAxObject, best is to avoid stunts like ... reinterpret_cast<DataTypesLibraryLib::IEventData*>(comObject); it will only come back to haunt you :-)

                          I see you're not using the UUID i suggested but another one?

                          Once you gotten a QAxObject up and running, start by checking it's validity by calling generateDocumentation: (i.e. from my code earlier in this topic):

                          / check that we have something live
                              qDebug() << comObject->generateDocumentation();
                          

                          If that works, then try using your comObject say like this:

                          comObject->setProperty("CD",20.22);
                          qDebug() << "CD:" << comObject->property("CD");

                            @hskoglund Actually the last GUID is what I pasted. I tried the comObject->generateDocumentation();
                            The output also contains .... Library not registered.

                              Hmm if you're testing on a pretty old Windows 10, you might have been bitten by this bug:
                              https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-63789

                              Also I dug up some old code for debugging COM, try these lines:

                              ...
                              // try to call it

                                  HRESULT hr = regFreeGetDllClassObject(QUuid("{0405e972-093d-4f16-9b4f-f9071cc8f9b2}"),IID_IClassFactory,(LPVOID*) &pClassFactory);
                                  if (FAILED(hr))
                                      qFatal("calling DLLGetClassObject() failed");
                              
                              // and then obtain the IUnknown ptr
                                  CComPtr<IUnknown> pUnknown;
                                  hr = pClassFactory->CreateInstance(nullptr,IID_IUnknown,(LPVOID*) &pUnknown);
                                  if (FAILED(hr))
                                      qFatal("createInstance() failed");

                                @hskoglund Hi, I test previous debug code, now failed at

                                hr = pDispatch->GetTypeInfo(0, LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, &pTypeInfo);
                                
                                if FAILED(hr)
                                       qFatal(QString("Error: GetTypeInfo() failed: %1").arg(hr, 8,  16, QLatin1Char('0')).toStdString().c_str());
                                

                                and the hr=0x8002801d

                                  0x8002801d (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED) occurs I think because it's trying to read class information from the registry (which is a no-no since we're doing registration-free COM).

                                  It could be because the comObject you created is not the top object or that it is dependent on some other COM class to function (maybe test with some other coclass UUIDs listed in your .IDL file, i.e. look for this pattern [
                                  uuid(xxxx-xxxx-xx)
                                  ]
                                  coclass yyyy)

                                  It can also be a language/implementation reason, for example if your dll is written in C#, the same version of .NET 8 or .NET Framework needs to be installed on both the dev. PC and the target PC.

                                  To test your .dll from C#, try calling stuff in your COM .dll from a test program using the same type of calling that QAxObject does, in C# you do this via the InvokeMember method (example here )

                                  Finally, to debug this, download Process Monitor set a filter to exclude everything except the process name of your .exe test app. Look for registry read accesses to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT :-)

                                  Edit: I looked if you could instead use the classes that dumpcpp gives you (from doing a "dumpcpp DataTypesLibrary.dll") but alas they are just inheriting from QAxObject so the same error 0x8002801d will probably occur with them as well.

                                    Edit: I looked if you could instead use the classes that dumpcpp gives you (from doing a "dumpcpp DataTypesLibrary.dll") but alas they are just inheriting from QAxObject so the same error 0x8002801d will probably occur with them as well.

                                    @hskoglund My COM dll was wrote in c++.
                                    I tried different UUID with no luck. And also the process monitor shows that the app was not access this registry.

                                      Found another code snippet for COM debugging, insert this just before that failing call ..GetTypeInfo():

                                      // insert this code right after retrieving the ITypeInfo ptr
                                      
                                      // check that GetIDsOfNames works
                                      //    QString unicodeName = "Clone";        // use this one for IEventData
                                          QString unicodeName = "Deserialize";  // use this one for IErrorMessageData
                                          OLECHAR *name = reinterpret_cast<wchar_t *>(const_cast<ushort *>(unicodeName.utf16()));
                                          DISPID dispid = 0;
                                          hr = pDispatch->GetIDsOfNames(IID_NULL,&name,1,LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT,&dispid);
                                          if (FAILED(hr))
                                              qFatal() << "Error: GetIDsOfNames() failed" << QString::number((uint) hr,16);
                                          qDebug() << "ok, dispid =" << dispid;
                                        
                                      // old code     
                                          CComPtr<ITypeInfo> pTypeInfo;
                                      ...
                                      

                                      You could try this both for the coclass ErrorMessageData or if you flip the comments: for coclass EventData.

                                      Also: to make clear what's failing:

                                      1. On your development PC where the DataTypesLibrary.dll is visible in the registry everything works, both my old debugging code (i.e. GetTypeInfo()) and generateDocumentation(), right?

                                      2. On the target PC without any stuff in the registry GetTypeInfo() and generateDocumentation() both fails.

                                      P.S. Pls have another go at ProcessMonitor, a trick I use is to insert a call to QMessageBox just before the code to trace, like this:

                                          QMessageBox msgBox;
                                          msgBox.setText("Start Procmon now...");
                                          msgBox.exec();
                                      

                                      (don't forget to #include "QMessageBox" :-)

                                        @hskoglund I tried the below steps on my PC.

                                        First, I added the code and it still failed with 0x8002801D error.

                                        Below is the log from Process Monitor when exec this line of code:

                                            hr = pDispatch->GetIDsOfNames(IID_NULL, &name, 1, LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, &dispid);
                                        

                                        I add filter operation must starts with "Reg"

                                        Second, After I registered the DLL like this:

                                        regsvr32   xxx.dll
                                        

                                        Then everything goes fine.
