Anyone use Windows COM?

by Pat Wilson · in General Discussion · 01/27/2005 (7:10 pm) · 1 replies

Anyone here work with Windows COM? I'm having some wacky issues trying to work with the iTunes SDK. Basically I can do what I want to do using Windows Scripting Host, but that's lame. I'm trying to use C++, and for some reason the 'IITLibraryPlaylist::Search' function is trying to allocate 0xF786A1A6 bytes off the heap. Which is insaine. All the other iTunes COM stuff seems to work just fine. I can play, pause, ffwd etc, but not search. Any thoughts?

Warning: I haven't used the iTunes SDK yet, and I'm a bit rusty in COM in C++. I would check the following though:



1) Be sure to send an address to an interface pointer for the parameter iTrackCollection

i.e.
IITTrackCollection *pTC;

MyPlayList::Search( ..., ..., &pTC);

2) Make sure the search text is a BSTR and that it isn't empty.

3) Write a test function in WSH or Visual Basic using the "Search" to make sure its not iTunes' fault.
