COM-Server Project Imported from DVF: incomplete macro call NEW_PIPE_INTERFACE

Hello,

I experience a problem with a DVF COM Server project that I imported into IVF.

The error message I receive is given below (incomplete macro call NEW_PIPE_INTERFACE).Is there any chance to solve this issue?


best regards

I think you will need to recreate the .hie using the COM Server Wizard. Can you attach a ZIP of your project? (Do a Build > Clean first.)

Steve: The project is rather lengthy and requires numerous other COM-components to run. Difficult to extract a working part....

So I did a little research......

I attach the original PEQCOM.hie (DVF) and you can see that I would like to avoid retyping everything.
I generated a simple PEQCOM_I.hie (attached) and the syntax is obvious. I think I canconvert the methods with arguments from C-syntax to xml with a few lines of VBA.

Once I generate a valid .hie, all the rest happens automatically?

In other words: Also the old DVF COM Server Wizard only edited the .hie and from that everything else was generated?

So changing the .hie (even outside Visual Studio) is everything that is needed, the rest is automatic?

It is my understanding that you have to completely recreate the project using the new COM Server Wizard - you can't just import the CVF project. But you can try using the HIE editor in VS to make some change so that the files are recreated. Editing outside VS probably won't work, but you're welcome to try. I can't do anything with your .hie files. If you make changes to the .hie in VS, the generated files will get recreated.
