ATL COM Question

[drm15]

How do I keep my programming running once it has started? I have my "WinMain" which was automatically implemented for me, but I "overrode" the Run function so that I could add another call within it.

class CTestModule
{
public:
// Override CAtlExeModuleT members
	HRESULT Run(int nShowCmd = SW_HIDE)
	{
		DoSomething();

		__super::Run(nShowCmd);
	}
};

My program runs when called, but then disappears once the calling program leaves. I need my program to stay running so that it maintains state in-between new applications making calls to it.

I tried to put a "while (true)" loop around Run, but that doesn't seem like the correct way to keep it running.

Thanks in advance! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Man, just stop mutilate your server. COM server life time is unexceptionally governed by reference counting mechanism.

_Module::Lock() is all you need.

Thanks - I added this to my code and it seems to have resolved my issue.
