Par2: OCX license string 1999-03-12 -- Kurt Paulikowski For the last few weeks I've been working with Catalyst's OCX's and have finally worked
something up for Alpha testing. When I did this, I ran into a problem with the license,
since it's not "officially" on my tester's machine. After researching and testing, this is
what I found:
1) On your production machine (the one that you ran the authorization software from
Catalyst on), get your license string by adding a scrap of code to any project that's
happy
(you should only have to do this once - the license is the same for all the OCX controls
from them).
loc:LicenseText = ?OCX{Prop:License}
... or possibly...
message('License Text: ' & ?OCX{Prop:License})
It should look something like this: ABCDEFGHIJ
2) In the window, under the properties for the OLE, enter the following in the storage
file area:
\!ABCDEFGHIJ
... Note: Don't use quotes. It must be preceded by backslash exclamation mark
characters.
3) Repeat 2 above for each OCX you add to the window.
4) If you are creating your OCX's "on the fly" (from a post by Jim Kane):
?ole1{PROP:create}=CLIP(ocxname)&'\!ABCDEFGHIJ<0>'
NOTES: I have tested 2 but not 4.
Hope that helps those of you that are trying to distribute these things!
