Wrapper Example (ActiveQt)

Files:

• activeqt/wrapper/main.cpp

The Wrapper example demonstrates how to export existing QWidget classes as ActiveX controls, and the use of QAxFactory together with the QAXFACTORY_EXPORT() macro. ActiveX controls in this example are the standard button classes QPushButton, QCheckBox and QRadioButton as provided by Qt.

The factory implementation returns the list of supported controls, creates controls on request and provides information about the unique IDs of the COM classes and interfaces for each control.

 class ActiveQtFactory : public QAxFactory
 {
 public:
     ActiveQtFactory( const QUuid &lib, const QUuid &app )
         : QAxFactory( lib, app )
     {}

The factory is exported using the QAXFACTORY_EXPORT macro.

To build the example you must first build the QAxServer library. Then run qmake and your make tool in examples/activeqt/wrapper.

The demonstration requires a web browser that supports ActiveX controls, and scripting to be enabled.
