ow to release ISldWorks via OLE automation?

It maybe has some problems when I close the SolidWorks session via the following code.

My code as follows:

// code 2 start

ISldWorks m_pSldWorks;

// connects to an already running instance of SW

//?????????????

// or will start SW if not already running

m_pSldWorks.CreateDispatch(_T("SldWorks.Application"));

//???????

// close the SolidWorks session

m_pSldWorks.ExitApp ();

m_pSldWorks.DetachDispatch();

m_pSldWorks.ReleaseDispatch();

m_pSldWorks.m_lpDispatch = NULL;

Hello Yanhua,

You should be able to simply use the ReleaseDispatch call when you are done with it.  A call to ExitApp is required beforehand if you are looking to close SW.  Stepping into ReleaseDispatch should show you what it is doing.
