That's definitely an understatement... a few years ago I had an ActiveX written by myself in VB 6, that I wanted to import and use into a C++Builder application I was developing. C++Builder can import ActiveX, wrapping them as VCL components. That looked impossible, there were strange errors. I contacted the Borland support group, and sent them the ActiveX. They examined it, and said that it did violate the rules that Microsoft itself had published about the structure of the ActiveX, and which C++Builder adhered to. Now, VB 6 is a product of Microsoft... so the conclusion is that an ActiveX compiled with a Microsoft product is not compliant with the rules issued by the same Microsoft... So much for the reliability and dependability of M$oft and their products... On the same vein, please read the comments found almost everywhere on the new Windows Vista.... unless something will change, I am seriously considering to abandon the Windows platform in favor of Linux. I have always considered Linux a bit inferior in its GUI and in its internal structure to Windows XP, and I am convinced that it is. But, reading the horror stories about Vista, that consideration will assume a less important role... 73 Alberto I2PHD _______________________________________________ Winrad mailing list [email protected] http://winrad.org/mailman/listinfo/winrad_winrad.org
