Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Add ActiveX Hosting to Win32::GUI

[Sean H. <jal...@ho...>]

I downloaded Laurent's AxWindow package, and I created a wrapper for a 
WebBrowser object that acts like a regular Win32::GUI::Window (that is, you 
don't need to worry about the special conventions for calling methods and 
registering events - you can call methods directly and if you define a sub 
for an event, the event will automatically be registered.)  I'll put it up 
somewhere this week, but if anybody's interested and impatient, I'll send it 
to you by email.

I tested the MSFlexGrid and got it to display.  I also tried Excel, but =
could not get any methods/properties(access violation errors). I assume =
that is because it is not a "real" active X control. =20


Anyway, even if I can't get the Excel to work(my big wish), thanks for =
this GREAT addition to Win32::GUI.  Adding the ability to embed and IE =
control or DHTML editor is awesome indeed!

Hello,

    I have put a new release with some improvement, some doc and add a new
method Release.

See : http://perso.club-internet.fr/rocherl/Win32GUI.html

    The Release Method must be call before all the window was destroy. The
best place is in the _Terminate handler. It's necessary for my container
class to release all the interface on the control before the activex window
was destroy. I don't know actualy how automaticly detect that.

    It's exactly what i have in mind.
    The goal of AxWindow package is to be a base class for derived package.
    I made one for DHTMD Edit control (see new samples in source zip).

    I have made an error in my sample with WebBrowser.
    I have put : -control => "SHDocVw.WebBrowser",
    but the correct way is : -control =>
"{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}"

    Because, by default if the activex was not found, a webbrowser is open
with a html error page.
    In this case SHDocVw.WebBrowser is understand as a ProgId, but not exist
and not a webbrowser.
    The second way is the CLSID (ActiveX numeric identifier) and it's
webbrowser object.

    For list all ActiveX informations and CLSID, it's better to use
microsoft OleViewer utility.
    I think it's possible to donwload it from microsoft site if you don't
have VC++.

I'm sorry, but I haven't had time to check out your WAY COOL thing yet.

However, if you create a Perl object and use that to connect the XS stuff, 
you can use the class' destructor, the DESTROY sub. It will get called upon 
garbage collection when the object goes out of scope or when the program 
terminates.

    It's what i do in my first release.
    I haven't trouble with WebBrowser. But, with other ActiveX, i have an
Exception.
    After some research, i found it's necessary to release all before the
event loop stop.
    I think DESTROY sub is call after all window have receive WM_DESTROY
message.
