    three questions about CoInitialize/CoUninitialize

    Hello everyone,


    Am I correct for the understanding of the following three questions about CoInitialize/CoUninitialize?

    1.

    For each thread which utilizes COM, we need to call CoInitialize/CoUninitialize. Not for each process.

    2.

    There is no harm to call CoUninitialize even if we do not call CoInitialize? And if we call CoInitialize N times on a thread, we need to call CoUninitialize the same of times (N times, not only 1 time) on a thread to release all resources?

    3.

    CoInitializeEx will invoke CoInitialize?


    thanks in advance,
    George
