Hi,
Did anybody try to extend the custom Input Format CoClass with a callback to a .Net Client application?
Currently I create my InputFormat object in the STA main thread of my .Net WindowsForm application. The execute method could sometimes take a couple of minutes to complete. I'd like to display a progress report in the client Windows app. Besides it would be nice to send a "Cancel" message to the InputFormat object.
I thought about extending my InputFormat class with a ConnectionPoint facility to fire call backs back to .Net and providing a progress report.
I created a new ATL project and added a ConnectionPoint Container to my test InputFormat. I tried to test the input format object in command line mode with LogParser.exe.
All attempts so far ended in Access Violations in LogParser.exe.
Did anybody get a callback into .Net to work?
Are the LogParser pdbs available somewhere?
Thanks,
Klaus
