I am trying to open a user/pass protected [Alfresco] webdav document from a Java applet, using Jacob and COM Automation. I pass "http://usu:pwd@srvs/docu.doc" to Documents.Open, but it seems to ignore the auth information. Is there another way to pass this information or somewhere else to authenticate beforehand?

I am using an ancient Intergraph routing library to do some routing. I could create several ActiveX and COM objects just fine but there is this one type "Location" and "LocationCtrl" that throws a COMException on creation. Here's the relevant code _sourceLocation.Streets = _streets; _sourceLocation.VerifyAutomatic = fa_sourceLocations...
Hello! I've used the VideoLAN VLC ActiveX Plugin 2 (available in the VLC 0.9.4 installation) in my VB.NET App. I've noticed that: The controller toolbar (seek bar, control buttons, volume) do NOT appear at all Even after playing a file And the "Toolbar" property cannot be set to TRUE, read-only?

I would like to create an ActiveX control that uses Silverlight. Is this possible/sensible and does anyone have an sample code for this? I am working in a legacy (non web) system that cannot directly use WPF/Silverlight controls. But the system can access ActiveX controls. The thought is that we may be able to host Silverlight in an Act...
Hi all We have a legacy ASP page that writes content to an excel file by generating client-side VB script based on data from the database. It uses set app = CreateObject("Excel.Application") to initialize Excel. The problem is that this is an "unsigned activex control", and some clients are now saying they wont change their IE settings...
I've run into a problem where I can't really find a good, low maintenance solution. We're trying to integrate our hosted ActiveX WebBrowser control in a dialog box with tabs (the native C++ tab control) better, such as having its HTML font use the "Shell Dlg" font, removing the 3D border for the WebBrowser control, and making its backgro...

Does anyone have any white papers or articles that would compare and contrast a web architecture where a .NET client component is required and the options being considered are ActiveX or a .Net component solution? I have a customer that wants to architecturally recommend a .Net client approach over Active X. However, there are some st...
I am relatively new to development within COM, and I was wondering what the community standard was for access of COM object properties. I have seen both of the following conventions in code: comObjectPtr->PutValue(value); and comObjectPtr->Value = value; and both seem to work, but I was wondering if there was an inherent advantage ...
I downloaded tortoise plugin samples, but I don't know how to implement it on Delphi. I have successfully compile C# sample, and use it on a repository, but my knowledge in C# for general development is poor. In other hande, I don't know how to start creating that plugin in Delphi, but after that I think would be easy for me. I want to...
I have a VB6 application that I don't have source code. This application uses third-party ActiveX controls. I want to automate these ActiveX controls. Is it possible to get the IUnknowns or Object references? For some of these, I can get the underlying HWNDs, but from what I can tell there isn't a generic way to convert these HWNDs to th...

At the moment, everytime the flash is loaded it displays a dialog box asking for permission to use the microphone and camera. How can I fake a click on the allow button to stop hassling users with this ques...
I wrote a Firefox plugin (only compatible with FF3 atm) that allows the hosting of ActiveX controls. Before the flaming begins - this is not the main topic for this question and the plugin was designed with security in mind so it doesn't break my favorite browser. if you are interested, it's hosted at http://code.google.com/p/ff-activex-...
Sorry, really newbie question, but if I was to create an ASP.NET website application, such as a calendar of events linked to a database - would the user interacting with this Calendar be using Active X? Don't really know how to put that question any other way. Reason I ask is that my works system blocks Active X controls and therefore t...

Hi all, I have a Java application that needs to be able to open multiple different file formats and embed the document within my java JPanel.

We have a large, deployed, 3-tier .NET application which for good business reasons can't be upgraded at present. The client makes use of a number of classic c++ ActiveX controls through the usual interop mechanism. We have fixed some critical bugs in one of the ActiveX controls and need to deploy the fixes to a number of customers with...
I'm trying to decide whether to use a custom ASP.Net Ajax Extender or jQuery to perform a simple web service call. The web service method accepts a customer ID and returns the customer name. I'm leaning towards jQuery because of it's simplicity. The only problem is that due to my company's IE7 Group Policy settings, the first time jQu...
Does anyone know if it is possible to generate ActiveX properties at run-time? I only need to be able to get and set these properties from Visual Basic. My ActiveX control is coded in C++ and I already know how to create properties by implementing hard-coded C++ get and put functions. However I have potentially a large set of prope...
