Question

I need to be able to create guids on the fly. Is there a way to do that in MFC? I see how to do it in .net, but we haven’t gone there yet. If not, do you have pointers to some code I can use?

Answer 1

GUID guid; HRESULT hr = CoCreateGuid(&guid);   // Convert the GUID to a string _TUCHAR * guidStr; UuidToString(&guid, &guidStr); 

The application is responsible for calling RpcStringFree to deallocate the memory allocated for the string returned in the StringUuid parameter.
