Trying to embed a web browser into a c++ Win32 project. Error about MyIOleInPlaceFrameTable

Can someone help me out. My goal is to put a child web browser window into my C++ project. I got a sample code from here:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/cwebpage.aspx

And then tried to compile it with VS 2008. Their sample project compiled and worked just fine.

Then using the same VS 2008 I started putting the code into my project, that is again, a native Win32 GUI application written in C++. I added almost all the code from "Simple\Simple.c" file one-to-one into my C++ project, but when I try to compile it I get a million error messages, starting with this one:

embed_htm_test.cpp(91) error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'MyIOleInPlaceFrameTable'
embed_htm_test.cpp(91) error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
embed_htm_test.cpp(91) error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

then about 20 error codes below:

embed_htm_test.cpp(158) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'MyIOleClientSiteTable'
embed_htm_test.cpp(158) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
embed_htm_test.cpp(158) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

and so on.

The first error would fall on this line:

IOleInPlaceFrameVtbl MyIOleInPlaceFrameTable = {Frame_QueryInterface,
Frame_AddRef,
Frame_Release,
Frame_GetWindow,
Frame_ContextSensitiveHelp,
Frame_GetBorder,
Frame_RequestBorderSpace,
Frame_SetBorderSpace,
Frame_SetActiveObject,
Frame_InsertMenus,
Frame_SetMenu,
Frame_RemoveMenus,
Frame_SetStatusText,
Frame_EnableModeless,
Frame_TranslateAccelerator};

and the second one on this line:

IOleClientSiteVtbl MyIOleClientSiteTable = {Site_QueryInterface,
Site_AddRef,
Site_Release,
Site_SaveObject,
Site_GetMoniker,
Site_GetContainer,
Site_ShowObject,
Site_OnShowWindow,
Site_RequestNewObjectLayout};

I also included all the includes from the original project:

#include <windows.h>
#include <exdisp.h>     // Defines of stuff like IWebBrowser2. This is an include file with Visual C 6 and above
#include <mshtml.h>     // Defines of stuff like IHTMLDocument2. This is an include file with Visual C 6 and above
#include <mshtmhst.h>   // Defines of stuff like IDocHostUIHandler. This is an include file with Visual C 6 and above
#include <crtdbg.h>     // for _ASSERT()

And for the best of me, I can't figure out where IOleInPlaceFrameVtbl and IOleClientSiteVtbl could be defined in. Any idea guys?

Check if the file extension is .cpp. Change to .c and rebuild. For me it worked fine.

By default in C++ it will define the C++ OLE interfaces. To get the C style interfaces, prior to the includes add

#define CINTERFACES
