    marshall interface needed?

    Hello everyone,


    When we have cross-apartment call (inside one process) from ... to ...,

    1. STA --> MTA;
    2. MTA --> STA.

    In both cases we must use either GIT (global interface table) or CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream?

    If call method on destination apartment through interface pointer of component of destination apartment directly is violation (bypass the above two methods)?

    (for example, sharing raw interface pointer directly in global variable and call methods on interface pointer directly)


    thanks in advance,
    George

    Hi George2.
    I'm having a little trouble understanding your English for this one.

    But, yes afaik you are supposed to use one of the above two methods for cases 1 & 2.

    Although the immediate call might work if you bypass those methods, who knows what might happen when that function goes to call out to something else.

    Thanks iMalc,


    Sorry for my bad English description. :-)

    Let me do some simple confirmation.

    You mean if we call from STA to MTA (or call from MTA to STA), we either use GIT (global interface table) or CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream? No 3rd "correct" solution according to COM standard?

    You mean if we call from STA to MTA (or call from MTA to STA), if we do not use the above two approach mentioned in (1), and choose to call from interface pointer directly, it is not correct coding in COM?
