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!
