An ActiveX Test Container
This application implements a generic test container for ActiveX
controls. You can insert ActiveX controls installed on your
system, and execute methods and modify properties. The container
will log information about events and property changes as well
as debug output in the log window.
The GUI has been implemented utilizing the Qt Designer integration
of the QAxContainer module. Parts of the code use internals of the Qt
meta object and ActiveQt framework and are not recommended to be used in
application code.
Use the application to view the slots, signals and porperties
available through the QAxWidget class when instantiated with a
certain ActiveX, and to test ActiveX controls you implement or
want to use in your Qt application.
The application can load and execute script files in JavaScript,
VBScript, Perl and Python to program the controls loaded. Example
script files using the QAxWidget2 class are available in the scripts
subdirectory.
Note that the qmake project of this example includes a resource file
testcon.rc with a version resource. This is required by some
ActiveX controls (ie. Shockwave ActiveX Controls), which might crash
or misbehave otherwise if such version information is missing.
To build the tool you must first build the
QAxContainer library.
Then run your make tool in tools/testcon and
run the resulting testcon.exe.
