i want a method in my COM object to be something like:

STDMETHODIMP
CMyInterface::getdata_template6( /*[in]*/ BSTR bstrOne, /*[in]*/ IXMLDOMDocument
idocTwo, /*[out,retval]*/ IXMLDOMDocument *idocThree)

i have tried importing the DLL. i keep getting error midl2025 when i compile (in
the app .IDL file).

with ADO, you have to import the dll, declare the structs for the objects you
need, blah blah blah. do i have to do the same for the IDOMDocument?

You need to import msxml.tlb or msxml.dll (don't remember which). And your
prototype is wrong. It should be

STDMETHODIMP
CMyInterface::getdata_template6( /*[in]*/ BSTR bstrOne, /*[in]*/

IXMLDOMDocument *idocTwo, /*[out,retval]*/ IXMLDOMDocument **idocThree);

i have done this already (importing the dll), yet the compile error still occurs.

How about showing your IDL declaration?

here it is:

[id(8), helpstring("method getdata_template7")] HRESULT getdata_template7([in]
BSTR bstrString, [in] IXMLDOMDocument *idocTemplate, [out,retval] IXMLDOMDocument
**idocReturn);

in my stdafx.h, i have included :

#include "Gram.h"
#import "msxml.dll"
using namespace MSXML;

..

replace the word "Gram" with "msxml" in the previous post for the include file.
also, the error on build i get is :

c:\XML\MyApp.idl(25) : error MIDL2025 : syntax error : expecting a type
specification near "IXMLDOMDocument"

You are importing msxml in C++ code. The error is from MIDL compiler. You
are supposed to import the library into your IDL, as in

importlib(msxml.dll);

inside your library block.

You already have a number of importlib statements, generated by wizard. Add
the above to the list.

i agree that it is a part of the midl compiler. however, i import the DLL (using
MSXML.DLL???) in the library block?

importlib(msxml.dll);

inside your library block.

Then did you also define your interfaces in the library block after
that importlib()?

i got it. seems the problem is the latest version of the Platform SDK wasn't
installed on my machine. after i installed it, it compiled and i can pass in the
ixmldomdocument into my method.

thanks all for the help!!!

btw, i didn't have to declare "importlib(msxml.dll);"

importlib(msxml.dll);

inside your library block.
