OCX implementation is outstanding
Publicado: Mar Feb 06, 2007 12:23 am
Dear all,
I have tested the latest Xailer and focussed on the ActiveX support. I was
happy to find out that I was able to use one of my favorite components
MapObjects from ESRI without any problem!!. The way ActiveX is implemented
in Xailer is very elegant (comparible with MS Visual Studio and even more
intuitive that handled in Delphi). Within half an hour I had build a
MapViewer with zooming capabilities. And the application is solid rock. No
GPF's!!
I have also other xHarbour related products, but was unable to get a stable
of or even running application.
The test project is included and if you want to play with the sample you
will need to dowload and install a trial version of MapObjects Lite
(http://www.esri.com/software/mapobjectslt/download.html).
I have a question though. On the main form, on two panels, I have also
placed two other components. One is a scalebar at the bottom, and one is
legend tool on the left. When the main form is initialized these two
componets are created, but they they not really become visible. Does anybody
have a clue in what direction I need to find a solution. I have used these
components succesfully in other programs (using a VB-alike IDE), but then it
was simply dragging them from a component tool bar on to the form. Maybe it
has something to do with early or late binding of the controls.
Best wishes,
Stephan
