Example - OPC SubscribeMultipleItems in VC++

26 May 2014 08:46 #1996 by support
Hello,

here is an example of subscribing to OPC item changes in C++, using the ItemChanged event on the EasyDAClient object:
 
// This example shows how to subscribe to changes of multiple items and display the value of the item with each change.
// SubscribeMultipleItems.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
 
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <atlcom.h>
#include <atlsafe.h>
#include <comutil.h>
 
#import "libid:FAB7A1E3-3B79-4292-9C3A-DF39A6F65EC1" version(5.2)	// EasyOpcLib
using namespace EasyOpcLib;
 
#define DISPID_EASYDACLIENTEVENTS_ITEMCHANGED 1002
 
//
 
class CSubscribeMultipleItemsModule : public ATL::CAtlModuleT< CSubscribeMultipleItemsModule >
{
};
 
CSubscribeMultipleItemsModule _AtlModule;
 
// CCoEasyDAClientEvents
 
class CCoEasyDAClientEvents : 
    public CComObjectRoot,
    public IDispEventImpl<1, CCoEasyDAClientEvents, &__uuidof(DEasyDAClientEvents), &__uuidof(__EasyOpcLib), 5, 2>
{
 
BEGIN_COM_MAP(CCoEasyDAClientEvents)
    COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY_IID(__uuidof(IDispatch), CCoEasyDAClientEvents)
    COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY_IID(__uuidof(DEasyDAClientEvents), CCoEasyDAClientEvents)
END_COM_MAP()
 
BEGIN_SINK_MAP(CCoEasyDAClientEvents)
    // Event handlers must have the __stdcall calling convention
    SINK_ENTRY_EX(1, __uuidof(DEasyDAClientEvents), DISPID_EASYDACLIENTEVENTS_ITEMCHANGED, 
        &CCoEasyDAClientEvents::ItemChanged)
END_SINK_MAP()
 
public:
    // The handler for EasyDAClient.ItemChanged event
    STDMETHOD(ItemChanged)(VARIANT varSender, VARIANT varEventArgs)
    {
        // Obtain the event arguments
        IEasyDAItemChangedEventArgsPtr EasyDAItemChangedEventArgsPtr(varEventArgs);
 
        IDAItemDescriptorPtr DAItemDescriptorPtr(EasyDAItemChangedEventArgsPtr->ItemDescriptor);
        IDAVtqPtr VtqPtr(EasyDAItemChangedEventArgsPtr->Vtq);
 
        // Not shown in this example: You should test the VtqPtr against NULL.
        _tprintf(_T("%s: %s\n"), COLE2CT(_bstr_t(DAItemDescriptorPtr->ItemId)), COLE2CT(_bstr_t(VtqPtr->ToString())));

    // Initialize the COM library
    CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);

    IEasyDAClientPtr EasyDAClientPtr(__uuidof(EasyDAClient));
 
    // Hook the event handler
    IConnectionPointContainerPtr ConnectionPointContainerPtr(EasyDAClientPtr);

    {
        IHandleResultPtr HandleResultPtr(ResultArray[i]);
        // Not shown in this example: Obtain the handle of the subscribed item from HandleResultPtr.
        // The handle is needed if you later wish to unsubscribe from certain items individually.
    }
