Help with ActiveX

1 New Member
I've been working on a pet project lately. Basically it's a point-of-sale program written in PHP (just for practice/my portfolio). I've got pretty much everything planned out, but I can't start programming until I figure out ActiveX. There is a great standard for point-of-sale developers called OPOS and they provide a big set of ActiveX controls for use in the form of ocx files. I'm pretty sure I know how to use the controls once they're downloaded and installed from one of my pages, but what I'm having trouble figuring out is how to get the ocx files into a cab file with an inf so that it will install the ocx files to the client computer when a page is viewed. There are about 3 different ocx files and I need them all installed (for controlling things such as the cash drawer, the display for customers, etc.) I can barely find any useful support online for how to create the cab file(s) and inf file(s) I need in order to do this and nothing has worked out so far.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

This one XP machine (with IE 6) is having a problem viewing any ActiveX controls (created on VB6) on the Internet Explorer browser. I put the same ActiveX control in a VB program, and when I run the VB program on that same machine, I can view the ActiveX control fine. He is using Citrix. The same ActiveX controls can be viewed on other machines. When trying to view 1 of the ActiveX control, he got an error "Visual Basic Run-time redist...

I'm using a 3rd party ActiveX control which has it's own constructor and two very methods (which ultimately sends out messages on the server's USB or serial port). I am trying to run this ActiveX component in my ASP.NET applicaiton. For now, I'm testing this application via localhost connection. At first, within the Page_Load method, I successfully instantiate it using the constructor: try { oABC = new ABCClass();

I have written two almost identical applications: (a) .NET C# console application which calls an ActiveX object (accessible using blah.exe) (b) ASP.NET C# application which calls an ActiveX object (accessible using http://localhost/blah.aspx) In both applications, my ActiveX object is instantiated with no problems and calls to methods within it do not fail. However, in the ASP.NET application, the calls to the methods do not perform the...

Hi, I am using an ActiveX created using delphi. It has a font property exposed. The font property is of type IFontDisp in the server(delphi). The font properties like Size, Bold, Underline etc has both 'Set' and 'Get' methods when using the activex in a VS6 app. But when using the activeX in a VS.NET app, the font properties are read only. The only way that i can set the font properties is by:

Hi all, I am trying to use an ActiveX control on the server-side of an ASP.NET 2.0 application written in C#. The ActiveX control is a 3rd-party interface to a data feed used by my application and does not have a GUI. To accomplish this, I am trying to create a Windows.Form to host the ActiveX control with the intent that the events generated by the control could be used by the server for data processing.

Hello Everyone. I'm trying to create an design-time activex control in c# that inherits properties from a button and I can't find much about doing that online. In activex controls that I've downloaded you can right click on the control and it brings up a settings form and I would like this ability as well. I'm new to creative activex controls so if someone could help me out or point me to some downloadable examples, that would be great.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
