I'm trying to get an activex object to be driven by a cf page (CFMX). I believe that I should be able to do this via <CFObject> and treating it as a COM object. I'm stumped at how to get it to actually work though. The manuals tell what the syntax is, but the examples are very poor and don't actually tell you how to actually use it. I've tried Googling, but found nothing useful.
The specific task I'm trying to do is run an activex crystal reports viewer. There's one property I need to set in the object once its instantiated, and then one method to make it view the report. I can see how to make this work, but I can't get the object to instantiate. It keeps throwing a non-specific error when instantiating the object. I've got the .dll responsible. I'm assuming that the 'class' parameter is where you tell cfobject where the dll responsible is. But I'm also sure that this is the cause of my problems too. Anyone got any ideas? Also, I can understand the concept of how the object can be created and values and methods poked and prodded, but I can't see how this gives you any output. I'm thinking that you'll need some html <object> tags to actually make the activex display something in the browser, but then I can't find any instructions or examples of this either. I've got some code I've found that uses the html <object> tag to put up an activex, but it uses some huge classid string, and I can't see where you find out what that should be, or even how this classid tells the browser where the activex file should be loaded from on the server. I'm confused and running out of straws to clutch at! Can anyone help or even just direct me to somewhere where I can find help?
