activex

I am trying to wrap up a TFrame descendant as an ActiveX control, but don't seem to be able to get the control to show up in the ActiveX Control wizard. Is this approach possible, and if so, are there any working examples that I can be pointed at. I have tried to follow the instructions here , but as I said the control show in the list of available controls. Thanks in advance. RRUZ @Mmarquee, the easy way to do this is use an Activeform , this is an ActiveX control that encapsulates a Delphi form, you can use the @Francois suggestion or the next aproach wich makes easy deploy any standard form

I have an ATL ActiveX control that raises three events (Connected, Authenticated, Disconnected) which need to be handled in IE/JavaScript. So far as I can tell, I'm doing everything right, specifically: (1) I've told ATL to implement the IProviderClassInfo2 interface, as described here . (2) I've implemented connection points within my ATL project by following the directions here . I now have a CProxy_IMyControlEvents class, with the appropriate Fire_Authenticated(), Fire_Connected() and Fire_Disconnected() implementations. They look more-or-less like this: template<class T> class CProxy

This is a very specific question which will probably earn me the tumbleweed badge, but please answer if you can I've imported DigitalPersona sdk dll's as type libraries into Delphi and am trying to verify fingerprints which I've stored as serialized data in a database, it's working very awesomely. Enrollment seems to work fine, but I can't turn the binary data from the finger prints back into DPFPTemplate objects. I keep getting an OLEException every time I try to used the defaultinterface property of a TDPFPTemplate object. What I'm wondering is how Digital Persona expects you to use their

I have installed my windows application that uses TeeChart ActiveX (a COM Component for charting) using ClickOnce. If I register manually TeeChart using regsvr32 teechart8.ocx, my application works fine. But I want and I need to install the application using ClickOnce. How can I do that? Orion Edwards ClickOnce can only copy files. So you have these options: Use Reg-Free COM as Jeff Hall suggests . This is probably the best option if you can do it. Run regsvr32 manually when your .exe file first loads (before it tries to access the COM objects) Create a custom clickonce prerequisite package

I'm writing an ActiveX control for my friend, that should encapsulate encryption routines. It will be used from VB6 primarily. What data type should I choose for binary data like encryption key, initialization vector, input and output data so that it would be convenient for my friend to use it from VB6? I'm using Delphi 7 to write this ActiveX, if that matters. One choice is to use hexadecimal strings. What can be the other? kobik VB6 Binary data stored in Byte variables and arrays. Dim arrData() As Byte VB6 Application should pass that variable to your Delphi COM as OleVariant . Delphi COM

This question already has answers here : Closed 4 years ago . Microsoft Excel ActiveX Controls Disabled? (11 answers) So at work I ran into this issue after I installed the most recent Windows 7 updates (including Microsoft Office 2010 updates) - the date up the update was today (Dec 12, 2014). After the update, I opened my macro enabled workbook in Excel 2010 and basically anything that referenced ActiveX controls (checkboxes, buttons) no longer worked. My auto_open was checking checkboxes and couldn't run... it kept erroring at the first checkbox check. The buttons are also no longer

I'm trying to return a detailed error to VB6 using CComCoClass::Error , but it seems I can only return an error code /or/ a message - but not both. return Error(_T("Not connected"), __uuidof(IMyInterface), HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_CONNECTION_INVALID)); results in a generic "Method 'Request' of object 'IMyInterface' failed" error message in Err.Description on the VB6 side (but ERROR_CONNECTION_INVALID in Err.Number), while return Error(_T("Not connected")); results in the appropriate error message, but a generic error code in Err.Number. How can I get the best of both worlds? Steffen Opel You
