ActiveX and IObjectSafetySiteLock,IObjectWithSite

[gvsopic]

Thanks guys, I thought I'd chip in too. I had some trouble with the above directions. What I basically did was I followed this codeproject article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/CompleteActiveX.aspx on creating a simple MFC ActiveX control. I then wanted to use the SiteLock template on that example but had a thrilling time banging my head on the wall for a couple of days. This post really helped. I took your modifed sitelock.h and replaced the one I had and added the code you posted to my h and cpp files.

I found that I needed to add DECLARE_INTERFACE_MAP() (after all the other DECLAREs) to my CYourctrl.h file.

I also changed the following in GetInterfaceSafetyOptions:

// Check expiry and if the activation URL is allowed
if (!ControlExpired() && InApprovedDomain())
{
*pdwSupportedOptions = dwSupportedSafety;
*pdwEnabledOptions = m_dwCurrentSafety;
}
else
{
*pdwSupportedOptions = 0; // Changed from dwSupportedSafety
*pdwEnabledOptions = 0;
}

This way if the site doesn't belong to the approved list, safety will not be supported ( before I did that safety settings were working for both approved and unapproved sites) not sure what the logic with the m_dwCurrentSafety option is.

I've attached the example project I was working on in case somebody else is having as much trouble dealing with this. As I understood from this post, the OleObject route is your only choice when you are working with MFC and the SiteLock template.

Thanks for the effort guys
