insert activex control in dcl dialog

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by ionutdinulescu, May 4, 2004.

  1. I have an activex control written in VC++. How can I insert it into a dcl dialog ? If this is possible, how can I access its properties and methods ?

  3. You can't insert an ActiveX control into a DCL dialog, and I
    seriously have to question why you would want to do this.

    there's ObjectDCL (www.objectdcl.com).




    access its properties and methods ?

    Hi You can't. You should create your dialog box(s) created by inserting a new dialog box using MFC not DCL. Then you can add any ActiveX control you desire.

    Are you new to C++ and ObjectARX? If you are you should pick up one of those learn C++ in 24 days. They give great examples of how to create dialog boxes.

    There is also a trick to using any of the resources in C++ and ObjectARX. The dialog box id number (found in the resource.h file) must be set to above 2500 or you will be displaying AutoCAD dialog boxes instead. Also using strings from the resource require special code. You should look all this stuff up in the C++ discussion group instead of the Lisp group.

    Thanks Chad Wanless
