Dumpdoc on 64bit VLC ActiveX doesn't work
Solved
General and Desktop
-
64bit VLC Media Player 2.2.2 comes with an 64bit ActiveX component called axvlc.dll. I am trying to embed this component into my 64bit Qt application.
- First I am trying to get the interface description by using dumpdoc. It has many interfaces. I need all of their descriptions.
c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\ax-vlc>dumpdoc {9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921} -o axvlc.html QAxBase::setControl: requested control {9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921} could not be instantiated dumpdoc: Could not instantiate COM object '{9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921}'That is failing.
- Second, dumpcpp
dumpcpp -getfile {9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921}is not generating anything at all. That's failing too.
-
Third,
OleView.exe (from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x64) is giving me the following IDL but Qt is not using any of it's info. -
So, how can I use this component?

Hi, perhaps when you installed VLC the ActiveX dll didn't got registered (don't think a normal installation does that), so first of all, open an Administrator/Elevated CMD window:
regsvr32 C:\Program Files\VideoLan\VLC\axvlc.dll
(must be Administrator otherwise you'll get error 0x80040201)Then, when dealing with COM, the big wheels are always at the end of the IDL file, i.e. try something like this:
QAxWidget vlc("{9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921}"); QString vlcVersion = vlc.property("VersionInfo").toString(); -
Thank you, the first part is working.
QAxWidget vlc("{9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921}"); QString vlcVersion = vlc.property("VersionInfo").toString();The above code is also working.
How can I generate CPP and .H file with all interface description?
dumpcpp -getfile {9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921}isn't working.
My ultimate goal is to use the play() method from this interface:
interface IVLCPlaylist;How can I call methods of certain interfaces from Qt?
Thanks.

Thanks Hskoglund,
so far so good.
dumpcpp generated .cpp and .h files and I included them in my .pro and #include "axvcl.h" in my MainWindow.cpp.
However, compiling fails at:
mainwindow.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static struct QMetaObject const AXVLC::VLCPlugin2::staticMetaObject" (?staticMetaObject@VLCPlugin2@AXVLC@@2UQMetaObject@@B) referenced in function "public: virtual struct QMetaObject const * __cdecl AXVLC::VLCPlugin2::metaObject(void)const " (?metaObject@VLCPlugin2@AXVLC@@UEBAPEBUQMetaObject@@XZ) release\test.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals -
Hmmm, you're sure you got axvlc.cpp listed in your .pro file, omitting that -> linking errors,
It should look something like this:
SOURCES += main.cpp mainwindow.cpp axvlc.cpp
(also be sure to hit Run qmake to make sure Qt sees axvlc.cpp)axvlc.h you don't need in your .pro file, it suffices to #include it, and with it, the code above becomes nicer:
AXVLC::VLCPlugin2 vlc; QString vlcVersion = vlc.VersionInfo(); -
yes axvlc.cpp in included in SOURCES.
I tried another newly created project I got almost the same errors:
qt_metacast@IVLCPlaylist@AXVLC@@UEAAPEAXPEBD@Z) mainwindow.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual void * __cdecl AXVLC::VLCPlugin2::qt_metacast(char const *)" (?qt_metacast@VLCPlugin2@AXVLC@@UEAAPEAXPEBD@Z) mainwindow.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static struct QMetaObject const AXVLC::IVLCPlaylist::staticMetaObject" (?staticMetaObject@IVLCPlaylist@AXVLC@@2UQMetaObject@@B) mainwindow.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static struct QMetaObject const AXVLC::VLCPlugin2::staticMetaObject" (?staticMetaObject@VLCPlugin2@AXVLC@@2UQMetaObject@@B) debug\t1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 4 unresolved externals jom: C:\devtest.qt560rc\build-LiveNVRPlayer-QtxMsvc2013x64bit-Debug\Makefile.Debug [debug\t1.exe] Error 1120 jom: C:\devtest.qt560rc\build-t1-QtxMsvc2013x64bit-Debug\Makefile [debug] Error 2 19:13:36: The process "C:\Qt\Qt5.6.0rc\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe" exited with code 2. Error while building/deploying project t1 (kit: QtxMsvc2013x64bit) When executing step "Make"Do you think axvlc.h (axvlc.h on pastebin) and axvlc.cpp axvlc.cpp on pastebin was generated properly?
Thanks

The files axvvlc.h and axvlc.cpp look kosher to me, should work.
If that SOURCES ... line is fine, then also in your project's sidebar in Qt Projects, in the Sources tree folder, there should appear a C++ file icon for axvlc.pp (same as for main.cpp and mainwindow.cpp), do you have it?
Also, try building in Relaease mode instead of Debug
