I am learning a COM. I have read COM is nothing but the QueryInterface... but there is so much importance to HRESULT,GUID and Registry also... So what does mean about COM.. On which actually COM focusses more??? How to know more about COM:confused:

QueryInterface is important in COM, but it is not all there is to it.

HRESULT is a standard return code in COM, and is fairly complicated. GUID means Globally Unique Identifier, which is used to identify interfaces, classes, and other items. QueryInterface takes a GUID as a parameter. Both of these are important.

COM involves lots of issues, and which ones you need to learn about depend on what you are trying to do with it. I learned most of mine by reading MSDN library. While I usually had it installed on my computer, you can access MSDN library on the web at http://msdn.microsoft.com/[^] Nathan

Since you have completed Inside COM, you can read Essential COM by Don Box which covers some advanced topics.

I'm afraid not, since I didn't learn it from actual books. About all I can recomend is the MSDN library. Nathan
