Forum Developer Intel DVD & DirectShow Developer Days Microsoft COM Overview What is COM: COM = Component Object Model COM = Component Object Model – a framework for “componentized” software with components that can be written in multiple programming languages A binary-compatibility model A binary-compatibility model – permits use of binary objects without need for source code to those objects * Third-party marks and brands are the property of their respective owners.

Forum Developer Intel DVD & DirectShow Developer Days Microsoft COM Overview Why COM: Solves “Fragile Base Classes” problem Solves “Fragile Base Classes” problem – If change an interface in non-COM programming, then need to recompile programs that use that class interface. – In COM, interfaces remain fixed. New interfaces are added to support additional functionality. Apps only obtain pointers to interfaces and never actually create objects Apps only obtain pointers to interfaces and never actually create objects * Third-party marks and brands are the property of their respective owners.

Forum Developer Intel DVD & DirectShow Developer Days Microsoft COM Basics Getting Started: Initialization Initialization – COM framework must be set up and ripped down by application – Call CoInitialize() or OleInitialize() to prepare COM libraries before use – Call CoUninitialize() or OleUnitialize() to release COM resources after done Can’t use COM without taking these “basic” steps! Can’t use COM without taking these “basic” steps! * Third-party marks and brands are the property of their respective owners.

Forum Developer Intel DVD & DirectShow Developer Days Microsoft COM Basics COM Objects/Interfaces: Creating objects Creating objects – Call CoCreateInstance() or CoGetClassObject() with the desired class GUID / CLSID / UUID – Returns a pointer to requested interface for the class Obtaining COM interfaces Obtaining COM interfaces – Call QueryInterface() on created interface with UUIDs of any other desired interfaces * Third-party marks and brands are the property of their respective owners.

Forum Developer Intel DVD & DirectShow Developer Days Microsoft COM Basics COM Reference Counting: BEWARE of reference counting!!! BEWARE of reference counting!!! – Most difficult area to deal with in COM programming – “Most” interfaces follow COM rules, but some do not – Usually trial-and-error is only way to tell Releasing objects/interfaces Releasing objects/interfaces –Code should be sure to use AddRef() and Release() properly or risk memory leaks and dangling references –It is very easy to forget to release interfaces! * Third-party marks and brands are the property of their respective owners.

Forum Developer Intel DVD & DirectShow Developer Days Microsoft COM Basics Sample Code: // Instantiate the Microsoft Video Renderer filter hres = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_VideoRenderer,// Microsoft Video Renderer Class ID NULL,// no aggregation CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,// FGM is DLL not EXE IID_IBaseFilter, (void**)&pVideoRenderer); (void**)&pVideoRenderer); if (FAILED(hres)) { AfxMessageBox("Can't create MS video renderer for line 21 output"); return E_FAIL; }else{ m_pVideoRenderer2 = pVideoRenderer; m_pVideoRenderer2->AddRef();}
