Hello
Active X controls are bitness specific. When supporting dual bitness there are two entries in two different registry sections
Placing an ActiveX on a windows form is 32 bit specific. When deploying as 64, connecting to the control will fail.
The only (partial) solution is OLEObject and CreateNewObject( ) - Then dynamic function calls and property setting may be possible. It is NOT possible to write code to handle custom control events. Dynamic coding is murky because nothing is exposed.
Does Appeon have plans to remove this limitation and allow form based dual bitness custom ole controls?
Thanks
Yakov
