[Fxruby-users] Embedding a Windows ActiveX Control using Fox?

[Martin H. <ma...@zs...>]

Hi all,

We have a ruby client/server program that uses FXRuby for its UI.  A=20
requirement has come in to embed an ActiveX control into the windows vers=
ion=20
of our client program.

Is this possible with the current FXRuby/Fox implementation?  I know that=
 I=20
could wrap the control inside a DLL and use Win32OLE to call it, but that=
=20
would leave the control in its own window and not embedded inside the=20
application.

If anyone has any ideas I would be appreciative - I don't mind rolling my=
 own=20
if I have to (presumably by first extending Fox then FXRuby), but it feel=
s to=20
me that this would be a non trivial task unless there is already some map=
ping=20
of Win32 to Fox stuff?

Cheers,
Martin
