The information in this article applies to:
- The Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL), versions 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, used with:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, versions 4.2b, 5.0, 6.0
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition, versions 4.2b, 5.0, 6.0
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Learning Edition, version 6.0
- Microsoft Visual C++.NET (2002)

SYMPTOMS
========
Calling the AtlAdvise() function to setup a connection point might return one of
the following error numbers:
0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE or "No such interface supported")
0x80040200 (CONNECT_E_NOCONNECTION)
0x80040202 (CONNECT_E_CANNOTCONNECT)
CAUSE
=====
E_NOINTERFACE Error
-------------------
The E_NOINTERFACE error is returned when AtlAdvise() calls the QueryInterface()
method for IID_IConnectionPointContainer and fails.
CONNECT_E_NOCONNECTION Error
----------------------------
The CONNECT_E_NOCONNECTION error is returned when AtlAdvise() calls the
IConnectionPointContainer::FindConnectionPoint() method and fails. The ATL
implementation of the IConnectionPointContainerImpl::FindConnectionPoint()
function looks in the connection point map for the event interface and returns
this error if it doesn't find it.
CONNECT_E_CANNOTCONNECT Error
-----------------------------
The CONNECT_E_CANNOTCONNECT error is returned when AtlAdvise() calls the
IConnectionPoint::Advise() method and fails. The ATL implementation of the
IConnectionPointImpl::Advise() function calls QueryInterface() on the sink
object (the client), looking for the event interface, and returns this error if
it doesn't find it.
RESOLUTION
==========
E_NOINTERFACE Error
-------------------
For the E_NOINTERFACE error, verify that the source or server supports the
IconnectionPointContainer interface. In ATL, this means that the source object
should derive from the IConnectionPointContainerImpl class and that
IConnectionPointContainer needs to be in the COM map, as in the following
example:
Sample Code
-----------
class ATL_NO_VTABLE CMySource :
public IConnectionPointContainerImpl<CMySource>
...
BEGIN_COM_MAP(CMySource)
...
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY_IMPL(IConnectionPointContainer)
END_COM_MAP()
CONNECT_E_NOCONNECTION Error
----------------------------
For the CONNECT_E_NOCONNECTION error, verify that there is a connection point
entry for the globally unique identifier (GUID) of the event interface in the
connection point map, as in the following example:
Sample Code
-----------
BEGIN_CONNECTION_POINT_MAP(CMySource)
CONNECTION_POINT_ENTRY(DIID__MySourceEvents)
END_CONNECTION_POINT_MAP()
CONNECT_E_CANNOTCONNECT Error
-----------------------------
For the CONNECT_E_CANNOTCONNECT error, verify that the event interface is in the
sink, or client, COM map, as in the following example:
BEGIN_COM_MAP(CDispSink)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IDispatch)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY_IID(DIID__MySourceEvents, IDispatch)
END_COM_MAP()
Another cause of failure might be that the event interface is a custom interface
and the source, or server, is out of process (an .exe file). You need to install
a marshaler for the custom interface for QueryInterface() to work across process
boundaries.
If all the methods of the event interface pass automation-compatible types (they
are VARIANT-compatible), you can set an attribute of "oleautomation" in the
source .idl file. When an ATL server is registered, its type library is also
registered. This sets up the marshaler for this interface to be the universal
marshaler (in OleAut32.dll).
If the event interface passes non-automation-compatible types, then a proxy DLL
needs to be built and registered. The ATL Project Wizard creates a proxy
makefile in your project directory with the name <Project>.mk. You can run
NMake.exe on this .mk file to build the proxy DLL.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you look up these HRESULTs in the Error Lookup tool, you get a different
description. 0x80040200 appears as "Unable to impersonate DCOM client" or
CO_E_FAILEDTOIMPERSONATE. 0x80040202 appears as "Unable to open the access token
of the current thread" or CO_E_FAILEDTOOPENTHREADTOKEN. These HRESULTS have a
Facility of FACILITY_ITF, which means they are used for custom interfaces and
there can be duplicates (the Facility is bits 15-30 of the HRESULT).
AtlAdvise() wraps the following steps:
1. Calls QueryInterface() to get an IConnectionPointContainer*.
2. Calls IConnectionPointContainer::FindConnectionPoint() to get an
IConnectionPoint*.
3. Calls IConnectionPoint::Advise().
