URGENT: C++ Builder type library problem
Hi there,
Please could someone help me with a problem compiling an application using an imported TLB file from an exe COM server written in Visual C++. I am getting ambiguity errors for which there is no logical explanation. The error is "Ambiguity exists between TGUID and System::TGUID". The line pointed out as the line on which the error occurs is in the TLB.h file !!! I cannot understand this.
Please help me as I am getting desperate !!!
Thanks,
Robert Lancaster

Hi there,
There is no definition of any sort redefining TGUID. If I take the type library as-is and include it another project it compiles with no problems. I know that there are twi definitions for TGUID in C++ Builder, one resides in the unit Ole2 and the other one is in System. Ole2 is often, if not always, used when writing COM-based applications. Is there any way around this ?
Thanks,

Ole2 is not used in current versions of BCB. It was left in a seperate directory for backward compatibility functions (VarToInterface, for example). I suspect that you have your library path set to include that directory when in fact it should not. Also, the lion's share of the newer COM functionality now resides in the COMOBJ,ACTIVEX and AXCTRLS units. Please verify and advise.
Good luck!!
