FIX: COM Object Returns Incorrect Value for Bool (162966)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a default MFC Automation Server.
2. Using the Class Wizard (OLE Automation Tab) create an automation method that returns a BOOL.
3. Build the project and run it once to register the server.
4. From the command line run JAVATLB /U:T Server.TLB, where Server is your MFC Automation Server. The JAVATLB creates Java class files with information about the COM interfaces and methods. After you have created Java descriptions of COM components, the output window shows two useful types of information, the import statement and the Summary.txt notice. You have to use the command line because Java Type Library Wizard doesn't list MFC Server's Type Library.
5. Create a new Java project.
6. Create a Java class that uses the services from the MFC Automation Server. The following class illustrates how it uses the Automation Method that returns a BOOL:

   import server.*    // where server is the MFC Automation Server
   class javabool
   {
     public static void main(String args[])
     {
       System.out.println("\nStarting test...\n");
       IBoolTest btest = (IBoolTest) new BOOLTEST();
       btest.TestBool();                      //calling the Automation
                                                Method
       System.out.println(btest.TestBool());
     }
   }
   						

7. Save this .JAVA file and build it.
8. When you run this Java Application, you will notice that Java interprets the Bool value incorrectly.
