Essentially, what I need to do is create a DLL in Delphi 6 that I can
dynamically load (for maintenance purposes) that displays a form that is Modal
to the calling form. The background is that I am having to provide support for
some individuals that have Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 and for some others who
have Acrobat Reader 7.0. I have to maintain control to the extent that, once
the PDF is shown, the user cannot continue working in the primary application
until the PDF is closed. (I originally had the display included as part of the
primary application because everyone was on the same version of Acrobat Reader
. . . then some of the users updated their Acrobat Readers.)
I have created a Testbed Driver (AcrobatViewerTester) to resolve this issue.
The Testbed Driver is a primary form that identifies the DLL's I create for
this purpose and adds them to a menu. Clicking on a menu item then calls the
dll o display a selected PDF and passing the handle of the calling form. The
DLL call is to a routine that makes sure the PDF exists and then calls a
function that creates a form (frmAcro70Viewer in this case) with the calling
form as the owner, sets up a couple of things on that form, and then tries to
do a ShowModal on the (frmAcro70Viewer) form . What I am getting as an error
is "Project AcrobatViewerTester.exe raise anexception class EOleSystError
'Coinitialize has not been called'. Process stopped. Use step or run to
continue."
I figure this has to have been done successfully by someone.
