COM Interface -> C++ wrapper utility ?

[vipsy]

Hi all, I want to find an utility that do something like that: Takes TLB (or whatever) and generates C++ wrapper classes for use these COM interfaces/objects. With ATL it could looking like: IDL: interface ITest { HRESULT GetName([out,retval] BSTR *bstrName); HRESULT DoSmth([in] BSTR str); } C++ (ATL) Wrapper: class CTest : public CComPtr { public: CString getName() { CComBSTR bstr; HRESULT hr = p->GetName(&bstr); if (FAILED(hr)) throw hr; return CString(bstr); } HRESULT doSmth(LPCTSTR str) { return p->DoSmth(CComBSTR(str)); } } Such wrappers allows to program COM in C++ much easier, almost like in VB, at the same time preserving all C++ power. Does anyone knows something similar ? Thanks in advance, vips

The #import directive already does this for you automatically.

Thank you for fast reply. I'll try to discover the #import behavoir in C++.

you can also use MIDL /h file.h to get an IDL file you can use oleview
