I am basically a VB expert (sort of ;) )
I am used to using third party ActiveX a lot and I have got a very large collection of freeware third party ActiveX.
I installed CBasic but could not find a way to add ActiveX controls to it.
So my question is does CBasic have support for ActiveX, Type Libraries and ActiveX DLLs (COM DLLs)?
TIA
Sorry, I missed this question.
Answer is no .. Creative is only a simple 2Mbyte program, and I don't think even EBasic can handle those things.
You can do an awful lot of other things with it though.
So I think you might have to stick with the big boys offerings if you need those facilities.
Try doing a search for those subjects, but I don't think you'll find very much relevant information.
all the best, :)

I never quite understand - what exactly is ActiveX component?
Gentlemen,
Ebasic should be able to support ActiveX/COM Dlls... here is the link to the user manual pages on the main site : http://www.ionicwind.com/guides/emergence/language_topics_using_com.htm (http://www.ionicwind.com/guides/emergence/language_topics_using_com.htm)
There used to be a COM subsection on the Ebasic site.
I think Sapero is the guy to talk to , he'll probably know how to do things.....

Thanks Frank .. having read your link, it's something out of my league .. ::)
Definately nothing like that in Creative - thank goodness .. ;D
best wishes, :)

I too wish there was a simpler way for EBASIC to access COM and ActiveX function. Something like just declare the OCX file and all the commands and events would be available. ;D
That link is out of my league at this time too.
