[vbox-dev] MSCOM example

[aru]

Hi Thanks for the help, but when I tried to compile the cpp program I got
the following error:

E:\vbox\mscom\samples>g++ -Wall -I e:\vbox\mscom\include helloworld.cpp -o
helloworld.exe
In file included from helloworld.cpp:1:
e:\vbox\mscom\include/VirtualBox.h:19: warning: ignoring #pragma warning
helloworld.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
helloworld.cpp:26: warning: format '%x' expects type 'unsigned int', but
argument 2 has type 'HRESULT'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It seems that the colored red are related to COM/RPC. And colored blue are
realted to VBOX

For ref: the following is the cpp I'm using
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include "VirtualBox.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     HRESULT rc;
      IVirtualBox *virtualBox;

      do
         {
             /* Initialize the COM subsystem. */
             CoInitialize(NULL);

            /* Instantiate the VirtualBox root object. */
             rc = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_VirtualBox,       /* the VirtualBox
base object */
                                  NULL,                   /* no aggregation
*/
                                   CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER,    /* the object
lives in a server process on this machine */
                                   IID_IVirtualBox,        /* IID of the
interface */
                                   (void**)&virtualBox);

             if (!SUCCEEDED(rc))
             {
                 printf("Error creating VirtualBox instance! rc = 0x%x\n",
rc);
                 break;
             }


         } while (0);

         CoUninitialize();
         return 0;
    printf("Hello, world\n");

    return 0;
}

Thanks
