IsIPartFactory and IsIPartMember

[oransen]

If I put an iPart inside an assembly programatically (using Add to the occurences list) I get given a pointer to the part which I've just added.

I can see if this is an iPart by using these properties: IsIPartFactory and IsIPartMember, like this:

    if (pPartCompDef->IsiPartFactory == VARIANT_TRUE) {
        TRACE (L"InsertIpartInAssembly, %s is not ipart factory.",csIPartFullName); 
        return (E_FAIL) ;
    }

    if (pPartCompDef->IsiPartMember == VARIANT_TRUE) {
        TRACE ("This is an iPart member") ;

    } else {
        TRACE ("This NOT an iPart member") ;
    }

It seems that an "inserted" part says it is an IPartFactory as well as an IPartMember. In the case that both IsIPartFactory and IsIPartMember return VARIANT_TRUE  does that mean the object is in truth only an IPartMember?

Aplogies, my question is as clear as mud...!

The ComponentOccurrences.Add methods return a ComponentOccurrence object, not a pointer to a PartDocument.

On my side IsIPartFactory and IsIPartMember properties aren't both set to true at the same time.

If you provide a complete code sample, we can start looking into it...

Thank you.

You are right. I had a senior moment, confusing C++ bool and COM VARIANT_TRUE
