Author EAServer using ActiveX via OCX file???
Marc Zwillinger

2005-11-30, 8:25 pm

I have an ActiveX object I need to use from an EAServer
application. The ActiveX is in the form of an OCX file,
there is no DLL or TLB files to import. Is there a way to
bring an ActiveX/OCX into EAServer?

The application I am deploying is written in PowerBuilder, I
can add the ActiveX control to a PB window. I am not sure
how or if this will work with EAServer.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

-Marc.

I tried, but can't deploy a window to EAServer

I also tried placing the ActiveX control in a OLE object.

// ActiveX control placed on a window
//
// This works but requires a window for the ActiveX control
// and cannot be deployed to EAServer

ole_1.Object.Timeout = 1000


// I was hopeful this would work but it
// produces runtime error "Error accessing external
property"
// The ConnectToNewObject returns 0 => no error

OLEObject ole_obj
ole_obj = CREATE OLEObject
ole_obj.ConnectToNewObject("servername")
ole_obj.Timeout = 1000

Any ideas why one works and the other does not?

correct it has to be a non visual object. This is a visual control?

I am trying to deploy an ActiveX/OCX to EAServer. It is not a visual
control. The only way I can deploy it is to place an OLE control on a
window though. I tried using OLEObject but for some reason it doesn't work.

did you you try importing the activex into easerver? I havent done this in a
long time, but you should be able to import the activex into eas.

Yeah, I tried but the ActiveX is delivered as an OCX file - No DLL or TLB
files - so I couldn't import into EAServer
