I've imported a type library into Delphi XE2 that has many dispinterfaces. Most of them have had an autocreated coclass and corresponding delphi T interface automatically created.
However, some of the dispinterfaces that I need to work with have no classid; I've tried every example that I could find on the net to utilize the dispinterface(s) in question. Here's what the interface looks like:
DIID_ITableListener: TGUID = '{83D42EA5-2C18-46EB-823B-262D62DF8CF1}';
...
ITableListener = dispinterface;
...
// *********************************************************************//
// DispIntf: ITableListener
// Flags: (4096) Dispatchable
// GUID: {83D42EA5-2C18-46EB-823B-262D62DF8CF1}
// *********************************************************************//
ITableListener = dispinterface
['{83D42EA5-2C18-46EB-823B-262D62DF8CF1}']
procedure Added(const rowID: WideString; const rowDataObj: IRow); dispid 1610743809;
procedure Changed(const rowID: WideString; const rowDataObj: IRow); dispid 1610743810;
procedure Deleted(const rowID: WideString; const rowDataObj: IRow); dispid 1610743811;
procedure StatusChanged(status: TableStatus); dispid 1610743812;
end;
Here's an example from another interface in the type library wrapper that uses this dispinterface:
procedure subscribeUpdate(updateType: TableUpdateType; const listenerObj: ITableListener);
Here's a VB.NET example that is provided that explains how the dispinterface is supposed to be used:
' If you want to use methods of the ITableListener interface, you must create a
' class that+ implements the interface. For example,
public class TableListener implements ITableListener { }
' In your application you must create an instance of the class that implements
' the interface. For example,
TableListener tableListener = new TableListener();
With no ClassID how do I implement this in Delphi? How do I do an instantiation? I thought it would have something to do with implementing an IDispatch interface descendant, but again without a ClassID I couldn't find a way to make this work.
Help!
Thanks.
