Multiple ActiveX support

[Antonio Linares]

Some users required to simultaneously use several ActiveX controls.

Here it is a working sample:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd, oActiveX1, oActiveX2

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "FiveWin multiple ActiveX support"

   oActiveX1 = TActiveX():New( oWnd, "Shell.Explorer" )

   oActiveX1:Move( 10, 10, 220, 220 )

   oActiveX1:Do( "GoHome" )

   oActiveX2 = TActiveX():New( oWnd, "MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer.1" )

   oActiveX2:Move( 10, 240, 220, 220 )

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

return nil

Thanks Antonio, it came in good time

Maybe you can create a xBase like command to simplify these two lines. What do you think?

Code: Select all  Expand view

oActiveX1 = TActiveX():New( oWnd, "Shell.Explorer" )
oActiveX1:Move( 10, 10, 220, 220 )


DEFINE ACTIVEX oActiveX ENTRY "Shell.Explorer" OF oWnd FROM 10,10 TO 220,220

Maurilio,

> DEFINE ACTIVEX oActiveX ENTRY "Shell.Explorer" OF oWnd FROM 10,10 TO 220,220

We were thinking about this one:

@ ..., ... ACTIVEX oActivex PROGID "Shell.Explorer" OF oWnd SIZE ..., ...

Well, in fact that syntax is available in FWH 7.01 , so now the sample looks this way:

Code: Select all  Expand view

// Using several ActiveX simultaneously

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd, oActiveX1, oActiveX2

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "FiveWin multiple ActiveX support"

   @ 10, 10 ACTIVEX oActiveX1 PROGID "Shell.Explorer" OF oWnd SIZE 220, 220

   oActiveX1:Do( "GoHome" )

   @ 10, 240 ACTIVEX oActiveX2 PROGID "MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer.1" OF oWnd SIZE 220, 220

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

return nil
