Hi,

Ive overridden the context menu and want to gain the URL, when a user
right clicks on a link (anchor).
However, although my code compiles fine, it crashes when
right-clicking on a link. I have narrowed the problem to my
queryinterface line. Has anyone got an idea of where i went wrong?
Thanks.

HRESULT FAR EXPORT CCustomControlSite::XDocHostUIHandler::ShowContextMenu(
                                DWORD dwID,
                                POINT* /*pptPosition*/,
                                IUnknown* /*pCommandTarget*/,
                                IDispatch *pdispReserved)
{
        METHOD_PROLOGUE(CCustomControlSite, DocHostUIHandler)

        if (dwID == 6) //an anchor (works fine)
        {
                IHTMLAnchorElement *pElem = NULL;
                BSTR bstrURL;
                
pdispReserved->QueryInterface(IID_IHTMLAnchorElement,(void**)&pElem);
        
                 pElem->get_href(&bstrURL);

        }
                else
                AfxMessageBox("Default Menu");
        
return S_OK;
}
