RE: Object Troubles

[Ricardo Sanoja]

Thanks for the information, I was just checking for the easy, cheap solution.  I will just buy a $50 ActiveX COM object that does what I want.  I was just trying to save a little money.   Sincerely, Ricardo Sanoja Senior Web Architect Version 4 Technologies, LLC. 4288 Kellway Circle Addison, TX 75001-4200 972.267.1558 Ext 19 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Billy Cravens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 9:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Object Troubles Each DLL can be coded differently.  ActiveX DLL’s (COM objects) conform to COM standards.  CFX’s don’t conform to COM standards – rather they use a “proprietary” interface defined by CF.  If you have the source, you could modify the CFX to adhere to COM standards.  However, if you don’t have the source, I would look at writing a CF file and grabbing it via ASP – perhaps an HTTP call (you could even output it as WDDX, and use the WDDX COM object in your ASP page).  There may even be a way of writing some hard-code C++ code in a wrapper ActiveX object to interface with the CFX, but I wouldn’t know how.   --- Billy Cravens Web and Software Consulting www.Architechx.com   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ricardo Sanoja Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 9:41 AM To: ColdFusion List (E-mail) Subject: Object Troubles   Here is the scenario.  I have a CFX dll that I want to use in an ASP page.  I cant find the object listed in an object browser, so I don't know the name of the object or the object ID, if it even has one.  I have also looked in the registry and can only find references to the dll in the Cold Fusion Server entries. Can anyone shed some light on how the server views the DLL's used in a CFX.
