BUG: Win32Cmi Sample Fails or Gives Wait Timeout Error (216660)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office XP Developer
- Microsoft Office 2000 Developer
- Microsoft Word Developer's Kit 95
- Microsoft Word 2002
- Microsoft Word 2000
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q216660 SYMPTOMS
The Win32CMI DLL that ships with the Word Developer's Kit either fails to work properly, or returns an error value of -9 (WaitForSingleObject timeout).
CAUSE
The Win32CMI sample project contains a logic error in the way it handles messages in its hook procedure, LGetMsgProc().
RESOLUTION
Open the Win32Cmi.c file and change the following line in LGetMsgProc():
if (((LPMSG)lParam)->message == vshared.wmIPC && wParam != PM_NOREMOVE)
to:
if (((LPMSG)lParam)->message == vshared.wmIPC && (wParam & PM_REMOVE))
Then re-compile the Win32CMI project to create a new Win32CMI.DLL. Replace your old Win32CMI.DLL with this one.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
