I'm trying to write a blinding and I found both
IID_ITaskbarList and IID_ITaskbarList2 are defined but
IID_ITaskbarList3 isn't. Any reason why it isn't defined? sorry
if it sounds such a naive question, I'm new to COM and D
interop. I knew a thing or two about PInvokes with C#.
Then how do I define it myself?
I've tried this:
GUID IID_ITaskbarList3 =
createGUIDFromString("{ea1afb91-9e28-4b86-90e9-9e9f8a5eefaf}");
GUID createGUIDFromString(string guidStr) {
GUID guid;
wchar* GUID_STR = toUTFz!(wchar*)(guidStr);
HRESULT hr = IIDFromString(GUID_STR, &guid);
assert(SUCCEEDED(hr));
return guid;
}
I'm unsure if it's the proper way to do it (if not, please show
me the right one)
But the call to CoCreateInstance() still fails to access any
member of m_pITaskBarList3 object, so I'm making sure I'm
passing the correct arguments to the function. The memory
access error is:
object.Error@(0): Access Violation
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(&CLSID_TaskbarList, null,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, &IID_ITaskbarList3,
cast(void **) &m_pITaskBarList3);
assert(hr == S_OK);
The assert() doesn't run, so the error is somewhere else... I
guess.
Did you call CoInitialize before creating anything? Is your
ITaskbarList3 defined as interface?
Here is the simple example anyway

There are no predefined GUID's and declarations for some stuff
because standard WinAPI bindings is incomplete, you can probably
contribute and add some
