Hi,

Thanks to you guys, specialy Pablo Botella, thanks again Pablo, I managed to 
get everything running, so much so that I recomend it be bought.

Now I have another problem. The components have been bought and are working 
perfectly in the development machine.

The problems start when I try to install the final product, one of our APPs, 
on another computer.
We allways get an error stating that the controls can't be created.
After a few goes we found that it was missing the ActiveX License 
information.
So I tied it the way Codejock's documentation says it should be done. Create 
an ActiveX Object that comes with each of controls and pass it the license 
information has per the LIC file.
And, of course, it doesn't work. I've contated Codejock's support but they 
don't oficially support any such thing has Alaska XBase++ so I'm not holding 
my breath.

I think the problem has, once again, to do with the GUI Thread.
The licensing object isn't a GUI object, but the Controls themselfs are.
For the licensing object I have to use ActiveXObject:create(), for the 
others I use XbpActiveXControl:new() .
If I use the :useGUIThread := .F. workaround the control freezes, so that 
isn't the answer.

Is there anyway to get GUIThread ID and create the licensing object to run 
on it ?
I am not entirely sure this is the issue, but I know the Licensing component 
is running properly, and I also know the Control is properly registred ( i 
placed the LIC files together with it and all problems went away ), so it 
has to be something related to the XBase++ Threading model.

PLEASE HELP!!

Best regards,
Paulo Gaita

Hi Paulo,

have run into this on a few controls where they use a licencing file
primarily for VB etc and dont inform you of how to get the license
information into a language like xbase.

I use the following tool to get this information:

comlicencefinder.exe

found at: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/ObtainActiveXLicenceInfo.aspx

It will give you a list of all of the registered activex controls on your
machine, if you right click on the control name and select get info it will
put the licence text fromt he control required for xbase's licensing
syntax.

I usually copy it and past it into my editor and then code it as follows.

oControl := xbpActiveXControl():new(params)
oControl :CLSID := "{Control ID}"
oControl :license := "license text from comlicencefinder"
oControl :create()

Hope this helps

Thanks Mark for the EXE link.

I also recall a programme suggested by someone few years ago which would 
list all the COM/ActiveX installed on a particular computer and I could find 
methods/properties etc details from the same. It also use to generate a 
HLP/CHM file for the selected COM/ActiveX

Forgetting the name.

There are a couple of tools I user to document controls.

DocToolLib from - http://www.angelfire.com/80s/philipsoft/

and 

HelpKit Com Assistant from - http://www.devcomponents.com/comassistant/
