Re: Wrapped OCX cant execute methods

You're right Bill. This case is the one you are mentioning ant it needs
an AXControlSite to be correctly instantiated.

Now I'm making a presenter with the image/video capture capabilities.

thanks a lot,

Sebastián,

I'm trying to evaluate a set of OCX (for embedding video and image
capture capabilities to a dolphin application) and I'm having the same
annoying result. Every message I send to an instance of the main OCX
object, is giving this "Catastrofic Error".

Some of wich I tried are:

Viscom -> Videocap (aVIDEOCAPLib_DVideoCap>>aboutBox)
Fathsoft -> VideoCapX (aVIDEOCAPXLib_DVideoCapX>>aboutBox)
Marvelsoft -> VideoOCX (aVIDEOOCXLib_DVideoOCX>>init)

of course I've registered the ocx files previously to the tests. I
even made a test to see if the examples runs in VB6 and they do, but in
dolphin, right now I cant event diagnose what is going on.

It can be somethig in the configuration of the system? exists then
posibility of the ActiveX wizard had not wrapped the ocx right? what
I'm missing?

Have you tried testing it in the active x conrol browser? My first
guess is that the control is expecting to be hosted in a control site
and that you have simply instantiated and started invoking methods.
Some controls are happy that way, others are not.

Have a good one,

Bill
