Par2: OCX Interface
1998-06-30 -- Gary Manis
 
I struggled with OCX's at first also but have been getting some good results of late. The following code snippet I have found to be the key to "activating" an OCX. I also included the embed title for placement. I use the window template to place the OCX on and code for it in the embeds. This particular OCX is from Mabry Software and gives me FTP capability(and works really well). This example does not use the storage file Clarion talks about although I have gotten that to work as well. If you try to use the storage file, use a simple PROP:Open. I have only worked with 32-bit code. Can't tell you about any differences in 16-bit. Another thing I have found is that the OCX may not work correctly on the first execution after a compile. If the OCX doesn't seem to work properly after a compile, shut it down (maybe even "End Task") and execute it again. Then if it doesn't work, you have a problem. ! Start of "Before initializing OLE control" ! [Priority 4000] ?ole{PROP:create}='Mabry.FtpCtrl' IF ?ole{PROP:license}<>'' ! The control supports licence ?ole{PROP:create}='Mabry.FtpCtrl\!'&?ole{PROP:license} END
