[Qt-interest] How to kill the COM Process invoked from a tester application

[Santhosh Y]

Hi,

I am able to invoke a COM server from a tester application as written 
below. My COM server is a GUI object, so when I close the last window of my
server it is not exiting the process from task manager (I am a MS 
Windows user).
==============================================
int main(int /*argc*/, char** /*argv*/)
{
     // To initialize COM.
     CoInitialize(NULL);

     IUnknown* ptr = NULL;

     // Getting instance by giving NewGUICOmObj class id
     HRESULT hres = 
CoCreateInstance(QUuid("{084EF014-6C9B-4d50-8756-263CDAC6DE4B}"),
             0, CLSCTX_SERVER, IID_IUnknown, (LPVOID*)&ptr);

     if (hres == S_OK && ptr !=NULL ) { //success
         //Creating a QAxObject that wraps the COM object referenced by 
IUnknown.
         QAxObject* comObj= new QAxObject (ptr);
         comObj->dynamicCall("setPath", "");
         comObj->property("renewIAState");
     } else { //failure
         std::cout << "Failed to start; Reason is CoCreateInstance 
failure " << std::endl;
     }
     // cleanup COM after you're done using its services
     //CoUninitialize(); *//This I can't write here. If I do that, it is 
killing the COM server before I work on it.*
}
==============================================



For your information, the event loop is on Server side. Please see below 
code.
==============================================
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
     QtApplication app(argc, argv);
     QAxFactory::startServer(QAxFactory::SingleInstance);
     return app.exec (); *// Event loop is started here*
}
==============================================

Please tell me how to kill the COM server invoked by the tester 
application, in such a scenario.

Regards,
Santhosh
