What sort of "data" do you mean? I assume since you're talking about a COM object that it just looks like an incorrect version in some way. Is it possible that you're actually picking up a different version of the DLL at runtime? Perhaps it's picking up the old one left in the application directory instead of the new one you're actually trying to reference? Try checking the locations in the PATH variable that contain incorrect versions of the DLL and get rid of them. Is it a Serviced component? Are you maybe picking up an older object from an object pool? I'm not even sure if this is possible, just an idea...

Im in two minds/tracks of thought .. 1 goes .. use EnumDisplayDevices, EnumDisplaySettings, the other goes get/use WinSta0 and get the user session/desktop through that, but, Im begining to think thats useless/impractical sorry ..

I have been away. From what little I have seen you appear to be using VC++ 2005, which I do not have. Therefore I can not test if this would even compile on that version of the compiler. The example you provided should generate errors, no matter what character set you are using. You can not mix Unicode and Multi-byte strings in a single function call, the function takes one or the other type, but not both. The only way this could work is if the compiler converted one of the strings, which it should not be doing, or the library provided functions that take mixed string argument types, which I have never seen before. In both these cases, MS would be doing something it should not be doing. Sorry I could not be of more help, all I know for sure is that the ‘L’ prefix is not optional and must be used to tell the compiler to convert the string to Unicode. Good Luck!

When deriving your own classes, you can fire all the events you want. The Commit method is still called on the derived class so add an event to your class and fire it inside the Commit implementation. It's your class - you have control of what happens. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles
