Anonymous4-Aug-02 6:00 Anonymous 4-Aug-02 6:00  I got close by trying a worksaround, but it's not quite working unfortunately. I got the idea from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/07/NetSmartClients/default.asp What I did was create a Windows Form which has the Active X instance on it. It actually works for some ActiveX controls, unfortunately the one I need can't be created when running under IEExec.exe due to threading model issue, it throws and IllegalThreadStateException or some such: "Additional information: Could not instantiate ActiveX control 'fa13a9fa-ca9b-11d2-9780-00104b242ea3' because the current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment." Does anybody know how to work around this latest snag? The .exe runs fine normally, but not through IE / IEExec.exe. Altering the threading model of the ActiveX is not an option, it's a vendors and I don't have the source. So far what I've done is really easy, just build any old Windows Form application, then put the exe and all required associated assemblies up on a webserver. IE 5.5/6.0 can launch it directly and run via IEExec.exe, as long as .Net framework is installed. Thanks, Ryan Re: 6.Net equivalent of ActiveX control in browser? Anonymous4-Aug-02 10:45 Anonymous 4-Aug-02 10:45  I GOT IT ALL WORKING!!! I had to manage the thread creation myself, IEExec.exe does not honor the STAThread attribute. So basically I have a .Net Windows Form application, running in the browser (sorta), hosting a legacy ActiveX control, and it all works. Thanks for all the help.

Re: Attribute Usage Andy Smith3-Aug-02 6:24 Andy Smith 3-Aug-02 6:24  Attributes allow you to specify extra information about a class or its members without making that stuff part of the interface. The PropertyGrid control, for example, uses attributes to know what Category to place each property in, by examining the CategoryAttribute on the property. The usage is wide open... and it's just up to you to come up with new and interesting ways to make it benefit you. Hmm... this couldn't be right.... Ryan Cromwell2-Aug-02 8:29 Ryan Cromwell 2-Aug-02 8:29  OK the code below is puzzling me. i have this nice little static member that loads pluggins based on a Type object. It does all of this fine, gets everything I want, yada yada... then i get to using the object. I'm looking at the autos in the debugger right now and they say that pluggin, by itself, is of type SourceControl.SourceSafe, which DOES implement ISourceControlPluggin (these are my classes/interfaces) though it won't let me do the cast - keeps yelling at me. Anyone have anything - i'm sure i'm just being blinded by the weekend... object[] pluggins = System.Pluggins.Pluggins.LoadPluggins( plugginsDir, typeof(ISourceControlPluggin) ); foreach(object pluggin in pluggins) { MessageBox.Show( this, ((ISourceControlPluggin)pluggin).Name ); } Re: Hmm... this couldn't be right.... jterrell2-Aug-02 18:29 jterrell 2-Aug-02 18:29  I think that we are going to need more details on what the "LoadPluggings" function is doing, maybe then we can help... Re: Hmm... this couldn't be right.... Ryan Cromwell5-Aug-02 2:42 Ryan Cromwell 5-Aug-02 2:42  This is the load pluggins static member. It is really the same thing as in the MYrc example that leppie mentions. public static object[] LoadPluggins( string Directory, Type Interface ) foreach( file found, load the assembly)... { if( asm != null ) { Type[] types = asm.GetTypes(); foreach(Type type in types) { Type[] interfaces = type.GetInterfaces(); if( type.GetInterface(Interface.FullName) != null) { lstPluggins.Add( Activator.CreateInstance(type) ); } } } } } return lstPluggins.ToArray(); Re: Hmm... this couldn't be right.... Russell Morris5-Aug-02 6:32 Russell Morris 5-Aug-02 6:32  I've noticed that same type of behavior, but mostly when working in design-time mode (as part of a custom designer). The problem seems to stem from having the two objects be created from non-identical assemblies. Say you have a class MyClass that is compiled into MyAsm.dll. You compile code linked against v1.0.0.1 of MyAsm.dll, and this code loads code via Reflection that links to MyAsm.dll v1.0.0.2. Then you call into the code you loaded and it creates an instance of MyClass v1.0.0.2. Your code is compiled as referring to MyClass v1.0.0.1. When you try and set your reference variable (of type MyClass v1.0.0.1) to the instance of MyClass v1.0.0.2, you'll get an 'invalid cast exception'. If indeed you are getting an "Invalid cast exception", modify the code a little bit to get a Type object for the object instance you loaded. Compare this in the debugger with 'typeof(ISourceControlPluggin)' to see if there are any minute differences. -- Russell Morris "Have you gone mad Frink? Put down that science pole!" Re: Hmm... this couldn't be right.... Ryan Cromwell5-Aug-02 8:49 Ryan Cromwell 5-Aug-02 8:49  Huh, you might have it. I've actually changed the output directory for the Build of the class that implements the interface to be a sub directory of the class using it. This is so that loading the pluggin assemblies involves moving them to the subdirectory of the app. I'll take a look, but that is great point. How to catch the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message in C#? Anonymous2-Aug-02 6:09 Anonymous 2-Aug-02 6:09  Hi, How to catch the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message in C# application with GUI? I am looking for .Net framework equivalent of CWnd::OnActivateApp function in MFC. Thanks! Re: How to catch the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message in C#? Rama Krishna Vavilala2-Aug-02 6:26 Rama Krishna Vavilala 2-Aug-02 6:26  I just did it 5 minutes back (what a coincidence). There is no equivalent of this in C#. Here is a code snippet from my class:- const int WM_ACTIVATEAPP = 0x001C; protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { if ((m.Msg == WM_ACTIVATEAPP) && (m.WParam == IntPtr.Zero)) { //OnDeactivateApp(EventArgs.Empty); } else base.WndProc(ref m); } Step back, rub your eyes, take a deep breath, stretch a bit, and reflect on the relative importance of CP, CG, the age / travel time sustained by supposedly 'fresh' cheese curds, and Life in General. - Shog9 Re: How to catch the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message in C#? jparsons2-Aug-02 7:33 jparsons 2-Aug-02 7:33  Is there any place in .NET where there is a Enum of the Windows Commands that can be sent? Instead of having to go through and print out their values and defining them as constants( as above)?

Rama Krishna Vavilala2-Aug-02 8:26 Rama Krishna Vavilala 2-Aug-02 8:26  No unfortunately no. I developed a small macro to declare the constants for me.

I miss templates Shaun Wilde2-Aug-02 3:04 Shaun Wilde 2-Aug-02 3:04  I have a Web User Control (.ascx) that can use either a SqlDataAdapter or a OleDbDataAdapter if I change the type of 1 of my members and 1 property I'd like to be able to do this via some sort of typing - rtti is this possible in c# - I'd hate to have 2 or more copies of what is essentially the same control. PS yes I did look to see if they shared a base class - which they do but the properties I need to access aren't in the base class but have identical names in SqlDataAdapter and OleDbDataAdapter eg InsertCommand, UpdateCommand Stupidity dies.

This would be especially useful when you want to make strongly typed collections classes.

Unloading a UserControl? Vasek2-Aug-02 1:15 Vasek 2-Aug-02 1:15  Hello, I have the following proglem: I would like to unload the control from the form. After it's removal from Controls collection I cannot close the form - it simply does not work. The Dispose method does not get to be called. Just as there was no proper cleanup done. However, the Dispose call on the control does not help. Does anyone an idea how to manage this, to my surprise not easy, task? All it is done in .NET using Windows forms.
