PRB: VSS OLE Add-in Model Not Supported by Visual Basic 4.0 (157715)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 4.0
This article was previously published under Q157715 SYMPTOMS
When creating an add-in OLE server with Visual Basic 4.0, Visual SourceSafe
may crash or may not register the add-in properly.
CAUSE
Visual Basic 4.0 does not support creating OLE interfaces. This is required
by the OLE automation add-in model in order to create an add-in OLE server.
RESOLUTION
A language that supports OLE interfaces, such as Microsoft Visual C++,
should be used.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
The Visual SourceSafe add-in model expects an IVSSEventHandler interface
that has an INIT event exposed. If this interface is not available, Visual
SourceSafe cannot establish the communication channel between itself and
the add-in OLE server.
