I am working with an ActiveX control in Internet Explorer 8 that is to display a save file dialog which let's the user choose a file name and file type (jpg, gif, etc). These values get passed to code and then are used in a different method to save the file. Unfortunately the method that invokes the dialog has no return value, and the file name and file type are passed in as out parameters. The signature of the method (expressed in Visual Basic) looks like this: Public Sub SaveFileDialog( _ ByVal bstrDialogType As Variant, _ ByRef pbstrFileName As String, _ ByRef out_pvType As Long _ ) The two

In C# I can write event handlers as follows: var wdApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application(); wdApp.DocumentBeforeSave += (Document doc, ref bool saveAsUI, ref bool cancel) => { //do stuff here }; In VBA/VB6, I can use static event handling: Dim WithEvents wdApp As Word.Application Private Sub wdApp_DocumentBeforeSave(ByVal Doc As Document, SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) 'do stuff here End Sub I would prefer to use dynamic event handling. However, in Javascript, even when using static event handling with the syntax described here : var wdApp = new ActiveXObject('Word

Is there a known problem with the boost::mutex header when used inside an ActiveX control? (Boost version v1.39) If I create an MFC ActiveX Control project in Visual Studio 2008 called "DefaultOCXControl" then I can build it, the control registers itself as part of the build, and can be inserted into the ActiveX Test Container as you would expect. All good. If I then just add this line: #include <boost/thread/mutex.hpp> at the top of my DefaultOCXControlCtrl.h file and rebuild: the registration step at the end of the build fails with: Debug Assertion Failed! Program: C:\Windows\system32

I have a JScript script that runs using cscript.exe . It creates a shortcut on the desktop (and in the start menu) that runs cscript.exe with parameters to run another JScript script. It looks, in relevant part, like this: function create_shortcut_at(folder, target_script_folder) { var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); var shortcut = shell.CreateShortcut(folder + "\\Run The Script.lnk"); shortcut.TargetPath = "cscript"; shortcut.Arguments = "\""+target_script_folder+"\\script.js\" /aParam /orTwo"; shortcut.IconLocation = target_script_folder+"\\icon.ico"; shortcut.Save(); } It gets

I want to place a command button in a cell though VBA code. Say position B3. I used macro recorder for this purpose but it gives me the top bottom values of the button. I don't want that cuz if I take my code to some other computer with another screen resolution, the code will fail. A cell position (example B3) will be an absolute position. Can you suggest me a way to do this. P.S Its an activeX button Thanks Tim Williams You can't place any object "in" a cell, only over it. You can set the button's Left and Top properties to the Cell's Left/Top. Sub Tester() Dim rng As Range Set rng =

I have a dll written in c++. now i need to call the functions in the dll from a html page. I have done this by calling the dll in vbscript (Activex) so that i can run the only in IE. Now i need to run this on Chrome as well as Firefox. What i have to do, whether i have to write in javascript simply or need to develop any extensions for that ? can anyone give a solution with a simple demo for this? Thanks in advance. You have no chance until you create non-portable extension for all browsers. Firefox allows you to create XPI extension aka "addon" Chrome has extensions There is no cross platform

I have a very simple javascript code, <script language="javascript"> function RunExe() { w = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); w.run('notepad.exe'); return true; } </script> <form id="form1"> <div> <input type="button" value="Run" onclick="return RunExe()" /> </div> </form> Which create an activeX object to run notepad.exe, if I save this in a plain html and run it in the IE, it works fine opening up the notepad, but if I insert this into a aspx page and run it, it will give an error called "Automation server can't create object", I googled it many times, but the IE security things I have
