Can an Xailer form contain an ActiveX form?

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a third party component, which is embeddable in a form, in other environments, but am not able to get it working with Xailer, so far.
I ran the Import ActiveX menu, to generate a class. But cannot figure a way to embed it.
Is it possible that Xailer has no support for such embeddable controls?

Do something like this:
METHOD FormInitialize( oSender ) CLASS TForm1
WITH OBJECT TMyOcx():New( ::oBevel1 )
:nAlign := alClient
:Create()
END WITH
RETURN Nil
Note that oBevel1 is an already created TBevel control on the form.

Negative. Previously, the initial code was this:
::oRep := TRoc():New( Self )
::oRep:Create()
::oRep:RepSetLicenseKey( "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" )
::oRep:DesignMode := FALSE
::oRep:InWebRep := FALSE
::oRep:Standalone := TRUE
::oRep:Toolbar := TRUE
, and it was possible to access most of the methods. But the ocx component just didn't show up.
When the code is changed, according to suggestions, to
::oRep := TRoc():New( ::bvlReportWriter )
::oRep:nAlign := alClient
::oRep:Create()
::oRep:RepSetLicenseKey( "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" )
::oRep:DesignMode := FALSE
::oRep:InWebRep := FALSE
::oRep:Standalone := TRUE
::oRep:Toolbar := TRUE
, there's an error message during the execution of the Create() method,
No exported method: GETNEWID

>>::oRep := TRoc():New( ::bvlReportWriter )
This seems to be incorrect. The parameter should be 'Self' or a control container. So:
::oRep := TRoc():New( Self )

Also, tried these 2, same result:
Local oRep
WITH OBJECT TRoc():New( ::bvlReportWriter )
:nAlign := alClient
:Create()

END WITH

********************************
oRep := TRoc():New( ::bvlReportWriter )
oRep:nAlign := alClient
oRep:Create()
oRep:RepSetLicenseKey( "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" )
oRep:DesignMode := FALSE
oRep:InWebRep := FALSE
oRep:Standalone := TRUE
oRep:Toolbar := TRUE

Please re-read my last message. TIA.

Ignacio,
I had responded to this message, prior to adding "Also, tried these 2, same result: Local oRep...", but it looks like it didn't go through. Will try to re-construct that response, here:
The original code used Self as the parameter. It worked as far as being able to access some of the OCX's methods and properties, but it didn't get embedded into the form.
Your example involved a TBevel control. I tried something similar with
oRep := TRoc():New( ::bvlReportWriter )
oRep:nAlign := alClient
oRep:Create()
(::bvlReportWriter is a TBevel control, embedded in the form).
, but it generates the GetNewID No exported method error.

Hello,
the 'b' instead of a 'o' on the parameter make me mistake. Sorry for that.
I hope you can send us a small sample to reproduce your bug. A demo version of your ActiveX will be also necessary.

Hi Ignacio,
I forwarded a sample to Jose Gimenez.
Thanks.

Got it. I'll check it in a while.

Jose/Ignacio,
Thanks, man. Working fine.
(Jose responded to my email with the following comments:
You have to instantiate the OCX from the OnInitialite form's event,
not from OnCreate one, since this last one is fired before any control is created.)
