IDLcomActiveX

Superclasses | Subclasses | Creation | Methods | Version History

The IDLcomActiveX object class creates an IDL object that encapsulates an ActiveX control. IDL provides data type and other translation services, allowing IDL programs to access the ActiveX control's methods and properties using standard IDL syntax.

Note
IDL provides ActiveX support on Microsoft Windows platforms only.

For detailed information on using the IDLcomActiveX object, see Using ActiveX Controls in IDL (IDL Connectivity Bridges).

Superclasses

IDLcomIDispatch

Subclasses

When an ActiveX control is instantiated, IDL creates a dynamic subclass of the IDLcomActiveX class. The dynamic subclass is used to provide a unique name for each component type, based on the COM class or program identifier. See ActiveX Control Naming Scheme for details.

Creation

IDLcomActiveX objects are always created automatically by IDL, as a result of a call to the WIDGET_ACTIVEX function. They should never be created manually.

Properties

Objects of this class have no properties of their own, but do have properties inherited from any superclasses.

Methods

The IDLcomActiveX object class is a direct subclass of the IDLcomIDispatch class, and relies entirely on the superclass methods, providing none of its own.
