BUG: Win32Cmi Sample Fails or Gives Wait Timeout Error

ID: Q216660

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Office 2000 Developer
Microsoft Word Developer's Kit, version 95

SYMPTOMS

The Win32CMI DLL that ships with the Word Developer's Kit either fails to work properly, or returns an error value of -9 (WaitForSingleObject timeout).

CAUSE

The Win32CMI sample project contains a logic error in the way it handles messages in its hook procedure, LGetMsgProc().

RESOLUTION

Open the Win32Cmi.c file and change the following line in LGetMsgProc():


if (((LPMSG)lParam)->message == vshared.wmIPC && wParam != PM_NOREMOVE)

to:


if (((LPMSG)lParam)->message == vshared.wmIPC && (wParam & PM_REMOVE))

Then re-compile the Win32CMI project to create a new Win32CMI.DLL. Replace your old Win32CMI.DLL with this one.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
