PB 801build 9056, Visual Speller OCX control and which OCX file is registered
We are still having problems with Visual Speller. The developers have the copy of the ocx control with the Visual Speller license on their C: drives. This is the one they register from within PB when inserting the OLE control. On the network, where the applications are deployed, is another copy of the ocx file that is needed when the users run the application. Before creating the exe and pbds we check the Browser OLE tab to see that the correct file is registered. All is fine. But after we create our exe and pbds we again check the Browser OLE tab and find that the file being refer...

Delphi 5 OCX and PB 6.5
Hi I have created a Delphi 5 ActiveX that manage a series of BMP images. I inserted it in PB 6.5 (using the tips posted here, i.e., getting a native pointer, etc.). It worked fine... for a while.

OCX and PB 8 (vs PB 6.5)
We have developped an application with PB 6.5 which included some OCX (DynaZip, Imaging and another dedicated to secure payment with visa card). It worked fine under PB 6.5 whatever the OS we were using (95, 98, Me, NT). We've migrated under PB 8.5 and now we get errors trying to access external functions of OCX. With the dynazip OCX, the behaviour is nearly correct but arguments seem to always be passed by value (and no more by reference). With the OCX dedicated to secure payment, we get error accessing external function. With the Imaging OCX, we get error accessing external func...

PB 6.5.1 and ActiveX controls
I'm new to PowerBuilder and would like to know if there are known limitations in ActiveX control hosting in PB. So far we have only done some tests with Delphi. Although the control does work properly, we are experiencing problems when closing the window where the control has been inserted (an unhandled exception appears). Otherwise our control works properly in whatever container you like except PB. I'm looking for good resources about what can and cannot be done when you're implementing an ActiveX control. Our preferred method should be Visual C++ in the near future....

PB 6.5 crash with Sheridan OCX
I am using Sheridan's SSYear OCX control. It worked fine for me under PowerBuilder 5.004. But in PB 6.5 i get a GPF in PBVM60.DLL if I click between days too quickly. I've tried moving the click event's code to a user event and I've tried allocating space for the strings that the ole_calendar uses before their usage with no luck. My OLE DLLs are later than what is recommended. Any ideas? Thanks. I had (actually, I still have) problems with OCX controls and PB 6.5 executables too (see discussion: "PB 6.5 OCX Crashes in EXE") and someone recommended ...
