Xailer goes OCX

This week programming stuff has gone tooooo fast, less than 24 hours ago, I was writting, in other blog, about FreeWin's ActiveX implementation, and some minutes ago I was informed that Xailier had "officially" released the OCX (ActiveX) support, complete, along with event handling.

The sample written by Ignacio and José is quite impressive, just for a "little technical detail", I will write about it later on, but this issue is not Xailer's fault, it's Adobe Reader's.

Just started the sample program and It will keep you mouth open, what about your very own web browser embeded in you application, with tab support, just the way Internet Explorer 7 ? .

Let's go on with the samples, and now we find the RMChart OCX implementation, to build nice bussiness graphics. This OCX is absolutly free and you can download it from www.rmchart.com, the results leave your mouth open:




And finally, just to spread your opened mouth to the floor, what about a nice FLASH animation running in your own Xailer's Window:



So far so good, the only issue I found in the demo is with the PDF sample, it doesn't work and the application crashes with a GPF, it all seems that there's some problem with the configuration of the Adobe Reader 7, that crashes de application, but if you use a lower release, like version 5, the sample will run as expected.

If you want to try it by yourself, you can download it clicking here. You will need to install the RMChart OCX before running the application, if not, the programm will crash, you can download it from www.rmchart.com. The sample includes the Xailer Project along with the compiled EXE in order to rebuild it you will need Xailer 1.1a and the special version of xHarbour for Xailer, both are available in Xailer's web page (www.xailer.com)

And now, let's sit to see what the other guis have to say to impress us.
