Implementing DLLUnregisterServer
Neil,
That's strange because this is pretty much what the app wizard gennerates
when you create an MFC ActiveX App:
// DllUnregisterServer - Removes entries from the system registry
STDAPI DllUnregisterServer(void)
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(_afxModuleAddrThis);
if (!AfxOleUnregisterTypeLib(_tlid, _wVerMajor, _wVerMinor))
return ResultFromScode(SELFREG_E_TYPELIB);
if (!COleObjectFactoryEx::UpdateRegistryAll(FALSE))
return ResultFromScode(SELFREG_E_CLASS);
return NOERROR;
Quote:
}
The first call unregisters the type lib and the second one calls the
UpdateRegistryAll(FALSE). I'll take a look at Code Guru and see what they
have to say.
Thanks,
-Rob
