    HRESULT CreateCOMObject (SmartPointerType & sp)
    {
    return sp.CreateInstance (...);
    }

    void DoSomething ()

    Re: CComPtr thoughts, please comment!

    No, you dont need to release as the destructor always takes care of it.

    (That's why the pointers are called smart -- as they also do the AddRef for you, when you pass them by value and Release...

    Re: CComPtr thoughts, please comment!

    When using CComPtr or CComQIPtr, one would normally not call Release() at all. That's what smart pointers are for -- they do the reference counting for you. i.e. When the smart pointer object goes...

    Re: Recommend a C++ book? (specific criteria)

    In general, a programming language like C++ does not have much to do with a GUI technology.
    The latter is typically implemented using the former, and hence there are many GUI frameworks to choose...

    Well, in that case, switching off lamps for an hour is quite a feeble sacrifice in the name of awareness in creating energy savings. In fact, it is outright misleading given that most devices other...

    Ah, I see a problem with that already. ;)

    Don't react to people who are (just inform the mods, like you also did - thanks).

    No, you dont need lighting in this case as you have a tripod.
