Thread: problem with __uuidof

hello friends,
I am working with a Outlook addin project in VC++. The problem is when i tried to use __uuidof(Office::_Commandbarbuttonevents) in my source code it returned an error stating that there is no uuid associated with this object. why is it so????????Please help me.

I havent used that object model but I have had similar errors

try __uuidof(Office::Commandbarbuttonevents)

The underscore before the object can sometimes denote that the object is a wrapper created by VC++. Kind of like;

Code:

_MyWrappedObjectPtr pObj;
pObj.CreateInstance(__uuidof( SomeNamespace::WrappedObject ));

Also, I'll move this to the windows board

in order to use __uuidof() we should use #import or the file must be a MIDL compiled one
