RE: Visuaal Basic
I would rather not use the command line version or FOP. I wanted to knock up an ActiveX component for embedding in a large app and need to Use the classes so that I get more control and feedback.

RE: Visuaal Basic
Matthew- I ran into the same problem as you (I was trying to call FOP from an ASP page), and what it looks like we need is some sort of VB-compatible version of JNI, which allows C++ apps to call Java apps natively. I ended up doing what others have suggested, and calling FOP via a shell. Because of the potentially long render times in my application, I actually separated the FOP call from the ASP page, and used a status field in a database to give the user feedback as to where in the rendering process we were. Basically, the ASP just creates a row in a table, and periodocally (on a 10-second META refresh) checks the status field for completion. A separate, VB listening app gets the new request, calls FOP, and monitors a log file to check for completion. On completion, it updates the status field, and the ASP gives the user a link to their PDF. It's kind of a kludge, but it was the only way I could think of to get VB/ASP to talk to FOP, while allowing some semblance of user feedback. One other alternative you may want to consider is a .NET version of FOP that someone posted to this list. I believe they made source available, so even if the .NET implementation isn't a perfect fit, perhaps the source could give you some ideas. I hope at least part of that helps. -Jeff Matthew LancashireTo: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: es.uk.comSubject: RE: Visuaal Basic 12/02/2002 06:50 AM Please respond to fop-user I would rather not use the command line version or FOP.

RE: Visuaal Basic
Title: RE: Visuaal Basic VBScript and Visual Basic are two separate things and for executing a process from VB you do not need Windows Scripting whatsoever. VB gives you the ability to execute a process thru a shell as any other programming language does. The code would look as the following: h = Shell(COMMAND.COM /C pathname) Where pathname is the full path to the file you want to execute (in your case it might be a batch file) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 30 November 2002 5:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Visuaal Basic Hi Matthew Using the Windows Scripting Host 5.6 and VBScript you are able to call any program through the shell (WScript.Shell).
