The longer I try to make sense of it the less sense it makes. If I create a new app, create a reference to MM and set the reference to null when I shutdown, I get this COM warning. If I add a button to the form, the COM warning goes away. If I reference any embedded resource, I get the COM warning. ...

@jimbo11883: Whatever you do/find with regard to this matter, PLEASE continue to report on it here. The MM+.NET knowledge here is thin. Aside from you, there's me, Steegy, and 1 or 2 other forum users who post about these issues. And some issues are still as of yet unsolved. If you figure out how to...

Steegy wrote:is it really necessary that MediaMonkey shows the "COM Server Warning"? Can't it just close?

I definitely like that idea best. However, barring that, there still needs to be some way to code your way out of this mess.

In scripting, when doing this to get a reference to: MediaMonkey SongsDB.SDBApplicationClass SDB = new SongsDB.SDBApplicationClass(); you can never undo it. Regardless of which application is shut down first, MediaMonkey throws a COM Server Warning. There's no way to detach, even after the calling a...

I don't know how to do this with GetObject but it can be done with CreateObject: external scripts and applications Right now I'm working on a .NET project very similar to yours. If you can figure out how to use a reference to MediaMonkey and not get a COM server warning when everything is shut down,...

Oh yeah, and I also tried launching MM from my app even though I don't want to have to do it this way. With the above code killing my app on exit, I still get the COM server warning regardless of shutdown ordert. I just can't get MM to recognize that I've dropped my reference

@Steegy: Currently, MM launches my app via a vbs script in Scripts\Auto so when I kill current app, .NET must interpret Current as being MM. How would you suggest doing it? I'd prefer to have MM launch my app if possible.

And whack-a-mole continues... Now I can do my own version of events, I can call SDBApplicationClass() from my app, and (now thanks to Steegy's Process.Kill() suggestion) I also close it without getting the COM server warning dialog. However, now MediaMonkey cannot perform its own correct shutdown. T...

In what language is this written? Would you be willing to make the source project available for download? As far as I can tell you are a C# dev'er and not too shabby of one at that. I'd love to look at your code and see how to interface with MM without going out of my skull. [see 'whack-a-mole' comm...

Thanks for the C# code but I'm not sure how it helps solve the original problem: MM's VBScript still doesn't have a window handle through which it can send event notifications. I've actually built everything without events now. However, if at any point in C# you call new SDBApplicationClass(); then ...

Great idea. Unfortunately, when I tried this script Sub OnStartup Dim hWnd hWnd = FindWindow("Untitled - Notepad", vbNullString) End Sub I got this error Error #13 - Microsoft.VBScript runtime error Type mismatch: 'FindWindow' File: "C:\PROGRA~1\MEDIAM~1\Scripts\Auto\test.vbs", L...

Here are some more attempts at getting a .net winform to receive mm events: WHAT DIDN'T WORK try 1 auto launch script to launch winform and subscribe to events. delegate events to a method in the app problem GetObject doesn't seem to get the currently running version of the winform. error is thrown....

It wouldn't be a bad idea to warn people that when you installl MediaMonkey, install Debug MediaMonkey, then uninstall Debug MediaMonkey, that it also uninstalls MediaMonkey

Ouch! I spent some time looking through this forum via google (thank you microsoft for making sure ".net" and "c#" are impossible for any but the most advanced search engines to distinguish.) You've posted a depressing number of posts about all of the problems I've had. You also ...

Does anyone here code in .NET? I'm coming across some weirdness in C# and don't know if I'm finding bugs or if it's due to a deficiency in my coding. In particular, when you're calling "new SDBApplicationClass()", is there anything special you need to do with interop or should it work as i...
