How can i use WMI in Qt? cant get msdn sample to work properly in qt5.2
-
I am trying to test an msdn sample on WMI notification in c++ which is located here: "Example: Receiving Event Notifications Through WMI ":http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390425(v=vs.85).aspx in a Qt5.2 project.
Everything compiles just fine and runs well, But when I try to run the sample code, I get stuck at the very beginning!
I get the error:bq. Failed to initialize COM library. Error code = 0xffffffff80010106
I\ve read somewhere that it seems Qt itself initializes the com objects, So there is no need to re initialize it.
In that case if i comment the initialization part i get *CoInitializeSecurity * failure error.!
What am i missing here?
I even tried running those codes inside another thread like :
@ std::thread t(&frmProcess::WMIMethod2,this);
t.join();@
where WMIMethod2 contains the code for executing wmi stuff as shown in the link provided above form msdn.
If i do this i get this error :
!http://i43.tinypic.com/289dlrr.jpg(Qt5.2 error )!
What is wrong here and how can i solve this ?

Hi,
AFAIK, when using com objects, you still need to do the initialization yourself. And it seems (but I might be wrong) that you are trying to access GUI element from another thread which is not supported.
I would rather try to encapsulate the WMI notifier in a QObject maybe move it to it's own thread if needed and emit signals from it to update the GUI
Hope it helps

Thanks, Would it be possible for you to show me a small example of doing such a thing?
