Html is off. [quote][i]Originally posted by cpp_john[/i] [br]Consider the case of implementing a COM object in C++ using [b]ATL[/b]. This ATL C++ class implements some COM interfaces, that are listed as base classes. In addition, these COM interfaces should also be added as entries in the COM map, using the [code]COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY[/code] macro. If the entry in the COM map is missing, you can get subtle bugs, as described in this blog post: https://blogs.msmvps.com/gdicanio/2020/10/09/the-case-of-the-context-menu-shell-extension-that-doesnt-get-invoked-by-explorer/ So, it's good to have Visual Assist X emits at least a warning in such cases.
