[wxperl-users] Wx::ActiveX abandoned?

[Eric W. <scr...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm using PAR to package an app which uses Wx::ActiveX and running into 
the same problem as described in this thread from one year ago.

  http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12836096

Can anyone (Donovan?) confirm that that fix works?  Is there a 
workaround that I'm unable to find?

No new releases to ActiveX since 2003?

Thanks,
Eric

  Graciliano seems MIA. I sent a couple of emails once but
no answer came. I think somebody should take over Wx::ActiveX
if he can no longer be contacted.

Doh, I then went to the Sourceforge message you linked.  Hmm...yes, I =
don't think it worked like Jan had posted it.  I don't have the source =
accessible atm, but I as I recall, ripping the guts out of AxWindows =
solved both issues I had.=20

Oh gosh, sorry, I was on a camping trip!  Looks like you got it solved, =
but yes, it did end up working for me.=20

I pillaged a recent AxWindows (since one is obviously based on the other =
anyway), just as you have done, but I forgot to clean it up and resubmit =
it. :-(=20

I spent so many dang hours on that problem and then getting everything =
to compile, I apologize for letting someone else endure the same pain.

Seems like there was something else that got fixed from my process, but =
I will have to see if I have any notes on what it was.

I would love to, but I can't get it to build.  I might have something=20
wrong in my setup, but it looks like there's a problem of it being=20
built for 2.4 compatibility.  I get lots of errors about wxLogTrace()=20
having a different prototype as well as SetTransparent() undeclared=20
(and looking in the include/wx/msw/window.h source I find that inside=20
of "#if WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4".)

But the real showstopper appears to be:

  ActiveX.xs: In function
    `void boot_Wx__ActiveX(PerlInterpreter*, CV*)':
  ActiveX.xs:36: error:=20
    `CleanUpClasses' is not a member of `wxClassInfo'
  ActiveX.xs:37: error:=20
    `InitializeClasses' is not a member of `wxClassInfo'

We've been using the binary build off of sourceforge, but I don't see=20
any source there.  What's the secret to getting this to build?

I'm using the camelpack, and never did get WxPerl to build from source=20
either, so I've probably got troubles.  I'm not sure how to get=20
wxWidgets to build from source either -- think the configure or=20
something was the trouble.

Thanks,
Eric

Thanks, that does get it to build and it seems to still work outside the 
par.  Now we're back to only the one (original) problem.

That doesn't seem to help.  The trouble seems to be with these 
LoadLibrary() and GetModuleHandle() calls (windows api?)

And (now that I can actually try it), neither does the suggestion from 
the older thread of using:

  SV *sv = get_sv("PerlApp::Win32_OLE", FALSE);
  hmodule = GetModuleHandle(sv ? SvPV_nolen(sv) : "OLE");

because hmodule == 0

  if (hmodule != 0) {

we never get to the important bit.

But, I managed to follow-up on the rather vague reference to this having 
been fixed before and located the "Try to find using Dynaloader" code 
in Win32::GUI::AxWindow

  http://search.cpan.org/src/LROCHER/Win32-GUI-AxWindow-0.07/AxWindow.xs

And now all is well (except for the many hours which are now dead and 
gone.)

I'll push these changes out to CPAN as soon as I am able (read that as: 
"hey, frustrated programmer in 2007, ping me if I haven't done it 
yet.")

Meanwhile, if anyone would like to test this, please let me know how 
well it works for you.

[Mark D. <mar...@zn...>]

Eric,

As a temp fix assuming you are using wxWidgets 2.6.x or later
you can comment out the three lines for
SetTransparent()
CleanUpClasses
InitializeClasses

for the wxLogTrace stuff, you can either comment them out or change

from
wxLogTrace(wxT('My Message'))
to
wxLogTrace('%s', wxT('My Message'))

That done, it should build. (it builds on a VC6 built perl)
Whether it works or not is a different question :-)

With regard to your earlier question (packaging Win32::OLE), have you
tried simply loading Win32::OLE before you load Wx::ActiveX?

So 'use Win32::OLE;' at the top of your script?


Regards

Mark
