ActiveX are a portion of COM objects. RB does not support COM objects, RB supports ActiveX that expose using iDispatch. This is not COM.
If your trying to create an interface, and you have knowledge of VB or C++, you could do a ActiveX or DLL library in VB, C++ and have it act as a sort of wrapper. Besides that, there is not much you can do. Just because it works on another language, does not guarantee that it will work in RB. As a matter of fact, Skype COM API will not work in RB without a wrapper. Because its COM. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Thanks Norman.
