CoInitialize in thread

[amolpg]

Hi All,

Currently I am working on a WMI application. There I am using ConnectServer function from IWBEMLocator interface. This function does support timeout in Win2k.
So I am implementation my own timeout by using multiple threads. Documentation for CoInitialize says that I need to call it per thread.
In this particular thread all I am doing is calling ConnectServer & in the main thread I m calling WaitForSingleObject.
Do I really need to call CoInitialize in the ConnectServer thread? If yes then I won't be able to call CoUnitialize if this call times out.
Is there any other solution to handle this timeout?

thanks,

Amol

Unfortunately, yes. As long as you need to make COM object calls, you have to CoInitialize() the thread.
