Interested here too, but I dont think it is still around. He states that the shareware license is $15, yet he never gave a page to order... could be vaporware.. ?

> could be vaporware.. ?
No, it was real... I bought a license when it came out. Don't know what's
happened to it since. I think PureBasic can do it natively now anyway?

Natively yes, realistically no
clunky as hell, and basically you need to write.. what? as much code as it takes to create WindowsXP just to get a working interface and communications going
I'd rather use a DLL in that case.. or any COM and activex communications. Plus scripting? you bet!

Hey PB, do you know if this ActiveX2DLL was created in PureBasic or another language? The flash part it what caught my eye and would like to learn more just for the knowledge. Thanks!

I can confirm that it is still about, I actually bought a copy of this DLL last week for $15.00
It is a very useful addition, and greatly assists me in accessing COM components, etc. In fact I am using it to embed a HTML editor into a project by using the MSHTML control actions on a WebGadget.
Yes, I could just execute VBscript or JScript as an external file but this control also allows me to trap the Events as well, thereby making it a very useful tool.
The url to buy it is at
http://www.shareit.com/product.html?pro ... nguageid=1 and this was found in the documentation included with the demo version at
http://www.getafile.com/cgi-bin/merlot/ ... eX2Dll.zip
Thanks Ricardo.

I was looking through this and got more and more excited, except for a few things...
1. This will not work with activex dlls who's events return class instances.
2. Scripting is not complete at all, looks like 50% done. IOW, you can not send PB functions to be called from the script.
3. Once script can be loaded at a time? no thanks
Other then the above restrictions, it might be good for some things.. ??

Anybody figured how to get this thing to work so that the script can call PB functions? Its almost/kinda useless to me otherwise.

Kind of sketchy to charge 15 bucks for a crumby product then never post again. This guy should be banned.

His last post is 2.25.2005 .. But he does not respond to this thread.

I think this is rather harsh.
Like I said, I bought a copy, $15 (I spend this on lunch some days) and it has served me well with my integration of MSoffice apps, Internet Exporer and MSoutlook (MAPI and Global Addresses) etc. This has saved me many times the original $15.00 in time and anxiety.
The product works well, for what it does....
I do not believe there is any way of getting the events to call any PB function. You can Get the events to call back to the Activx2Dll componant, and then return some value(s) back to the PB program, but that is as far as it goes.
Sorry I can not be of more assistance.
