Non-default constructor in a COM object - how?

[Yoni]

I would like to translate the following class to a COM object:

class MyClass
{
private:
int m_Data;

public:
MyClass(int Data) : m_Data(Data) {}
int Get() { return m_Data; }
};



My question is: How can I translate the parameterized constructor?

[DanielK]

You can't. COM wasn't built to use C++. It is made easy with C++, but languages such as C, VB, VBSCRIPT, etc... have no knowledge of c++ constructors/destructors. Instead of relying on a parameterized constructor, add an Init function. That the client must call before using any other method.

Got a question? try looking it up in MSDN first. Msdn comes with the Visual Studio, and can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com
