Hi everyone,

I am once again up to my neck in it...

For a while, after you guys gave me a hand, I managed to run pretty much any
ActiveX I wanted, no problems.

Now though, I find myself once again in trouble, the culprit being "Sonic
Click Super"

It's a Button control that has some nice features, it's inexpensive, small,
and quite fast. All in all, or so I thought, a good buy.

So I did, and now I am stumped. Any and all attempt at creating the
"SonicClickSuper.SonicClick" control within an XBase++ application will yeld
a Cannot Create ActiveX Control error message.

At first I though it to a license problem, it usually is, but no, that
doesn't seam to be the problem. So I fear it might be something I am doing
wrong, although I can't figure out what...

The Error:

--------------

I've tried it under VB 6 and both VB.NET and C# 2005 and it works just fine,
even if I choose to create it in code.

You can find this control at http://www.sonicactivex.com/sonicclick.html

Unfortunately when I downloaded it I didn't try it under XBase++. Since it
worked well in VB I assumed the same to be true for XBase++.

Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very mutch.

Paulo Gaita

Paulo,

the definition of the SonicClick ActiveX control starts with 488 
[restricted] methods, which is really weird. I haven't seen the [restricted] 
attribute with ActiveX controls so far. I assume that Alaska's developers 
haven't seen that attribute either (SonicClick must have good reason to 
start the VTable of an ActiveX control with 488 unused/reserved methods. I 
don't understand WHY they do that)

IMO, ActiveX is too complex for Alaska. You can be lucky when an OCX works 
with Xbase++.

While I'm at it, Alaska fails with ActiveX event handling. Xbase++'s ActiveX 
event handling is ENTIRELY wrong implemented (IMO, Steffen, Till, Andreas 
don't know what they are doing).

As a summary: NO, I don't think that the SonicClick ActiveX control will 
work with Xbase++, unless the Alaska developers change Xbase++.

Maybe you want to send a PDR to Alaska support.

Regards,

Well it turns out their support is quite good.

They actually have a special version for XBase++, and it works. Not 
everything works has intended and the useGUIThread := .F. switch is 
required, but it's working. They look awsome and are quite fast and small so 
I'm a happy camper!

Thanks for the input guys, just wanted to let you know.

Best regards,
Paulo Gaita

I'm wondering what the "special version for XBase++" would be.

Do you have details?

TIA,

hi,

SL1 ?

Hi Jimmy,

indeed, with SL1 Preview some of my former problems are solved, 
basically with displaying ActiveX-Elements.

But we all know that Alaska sometimes has "special editions" for 
testing, that are not public. Just to figuere out where a special 
problem may occure, or what could be the next step in the evolution. 
Maybe Paulo got one of these?

I have a Demo package for the Sonic ActiveX controls for XBase++, 
compliments of SWiJ.
I's 2MB+ so I guess attaching it might not be such a good idea, it anyone 
wants to give it a go drop me a line.
Make sure you'r email account can handle a 2MB+ attachment.

I am in no way affiliated with SWiJ, I just happen to like the controls. 
They're light, fast, and work reasonably well.

There's a Button control, fully colored and with several internal styles, 
all of them quite fast. Can handle images too.
The Frame control is also a must, if one wants to beef up ones application 
looks.
The Calendar control is also worth taking a look at.

The version also works with other environments, like VB and such.

Best regards,
Paulo Gaita
