How can I use the SDK into a C++/MFC application please?

[Regad-Pelagru]

Hello,
We want to implement the "Axis Windows SDK" into a C++/MFC application.
The SDK provided by AXIS uses the ATL.
The ATL is not compatible with the MFC....
Do you have an another SDK compatible with the MFC pease?
Best regards,
James

Answers to your questions will most often come from the community, from developers like yourself. You will, from time to time, find that Axis employees answers some of the questions, but this is not a guarantee. Think of the discussion forum as a complement to other support channels, not a replacement to any of them.

If your question remains unanswered for a period of time, please revisit it to see whether it can be improved by following the guidelines listed in Axis support guidelines.

"Axis Windows SDK" From: Cacsjep -------------------------- Which SDK you mean ?

[Cacsjep]

Sorry I saw it to late that you had the windows SDK tag

Hi @Regad-Pelagru ,
I’m not an expert on the differences between ATL (Active Template Library) and MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class Library), but the information below may help you determine if the AXIS Media Parser SDK COM components are compatible with your Visual C++ (MFC) projects.

You can also try embedding ActiveX in an MFC View if only interested in viewing the live video from the camera: AXIS Media Control

Please let me know the use case you are trying to solve with C++/MFC application.

Hello,
Thank you very much!!!
I have correctly implemented the CAxisJoystickHandler and CAxisJoystick!!!
How can I "hook" the joystick events please???
I have implemented the CIAxisJoystickEvents but I have only the joystick methods...
Best regards,
James

[Regad-Pelagru]

We only want to capture the events of the joystick. We are not interesting by the camera for the moment.
We use the "AXIS Joystick SDK version 4.00" not the "AXIS Media Control.

Hello,
Do you have a sample " how to integrate the COM components in your Visual C++ (MFC) projects." for the "AXIS Joystick SDK" please?
I am completely lost....
Thank you in advance for your help,
Best regards,
James

Hi @Regad-Pelagru ,
Only I can find these examples from AXIS Joystick SDK

I can confirm there are no other C++ examples available from Axis.

You can try changing the project property and check:

PS: I have never worked with any MFC project😉

[Regad-Pelagru]

Thank you very much but it does not fix my issue...
The MFC is really enabled in the project only when the following line is added in the stdafx,h file:
#include <afxwin.h> // MFC core and standard components

[Regad-Pelagru]

I only use "AxisJoystickModuleX64.dll"...
What is the following dll?:

• GETTDeviceLib_x64.dll
• GETTDeviceLibWrapper_x64.dll
• iowkitX64.dll
• spinkitX64.dll

[Regad-Pelagru]

We are on vs2015. The INTERFACE_PART is not yet supported. Do you a sample MFC under vs2015 please?

[Regad-Pelagru]

We try to load the dll like the command "parser.CreateDispatch("AxisMediaParserLib.AxisMediaParser");" (see the AXIS Media Parser SDK 4.31-Visual C++).
So we adapt for the AXIS Joystick SDK and we call "parser.CreateDispatch("AxisJoystickModuleLib.IAxisJoystickHandler");" It returns FALSE.
We try like this "parser.CreateDispatch(__uuidof(AxisJoystickHandler));". It return TRUE but it crash after on the EnumerateJoysticks(); I have checked the loaded dll and in fact it is not AxisJoystickModuleX64.dll but oleaut32.dll...
Do you have an idea what is wrong please?

Hi @Regad-Pelagru ,
I don't think any sample MFC project is available from Axis for AXIS Joystick SDK. Please explore the doc file if it helps.

Let's wait and see if someone from the community help you on this topic.
