ALT/COM and createthread question

[packetVB]

Problem:

Ok, Ive created COM through the Wizard and added one method and one connection point.

When the method gets called im doing createthread to static function and doing a createevent with RegNotifyChangeKeyValue.
Once the event is received im trying to raise an event via a connectionpoint.

This is my static function:
static DWORD WINAPI CThread(CTestMe *pthis)
{ DWORD dwFilter = REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_NAME |
REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES |
REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_SET |
REG_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SECURITY;

HKEY hMainKey;


lErrorCode = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run",0, KEY_NOTIFY, &hKey);
if (lErrorCode != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{

return -1;
}

// Create an event.
hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, TRUE, FALSE, NULL);
if (hEvent == NULL)
{

return -1;
}


// Watch the registry key for a change of value.
lErrorCode = RegNotifyChangeKeyValue(hKey,
TRUE,
dwFilter,
hEvent,
TRUE);
if (lErrorCode != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{

return -1;
}


if (WaitForSingleObject(hEvent, INFINITE) == WAIT_FAILED)
{
return -1;
}


lErrorCode = RegCloseKey(hKey);
if (lErrorCode != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
return -1;
}
if (!pthis)
{
MessageBox( NULL, "null ptr", "main", MB_OK );
}
pthis->Fire_Done(0); //this causes app to crash.

return 0;
}

here is my method:
STDMETHODIMP CTestMe::AddNums(int x, int y)
{

HANDLE hThread;
char szMsg[80];

hThread=CreateThread(NULL,0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)CThread,this,0,(LPDWORD)&d_threadID );

if (hThread==NULL)
{
wsprintf( szMsg, "CreateThread failed." );
MessageBox( NULL, szMsg, "main", MB_OK );
return S_FALSE;
}

return S_OK;
}

Im passing the this pointer to my createthread function. If I add another method, I can call it via my passed ptr. But it fails when I try calling the event.

Any clues on what im doing wrong??

Thanks

CornedBee,
Oh knowledgable one, where are you


But really, got an idea's?

Haven't ever worked with GUI ActiveX controls, only invisible ActiveX utility objects. Sorry.

Have you stepped through it with a debugger? Does the function call itself cause the crash or something inside? Maybe Fire_Done has an error somewhere.
