ActiveX Control Issues

Visual C++ Support for Authenticode Some ActiveX Controls Created with Visual Basic Generate Error in ActiveX Test Container on Resize Oracle Joins and MSRDC20.OCX (Remote Data Control V2) Current, Localized ActiveX Redistributable Components

MORE INFORMATION

Visual C++ Support for Authenticode

To find the tools necessary for packaging your ATL and MFC controls into cabinet (.cab) files and signing the resulting .cab files, look in the CAB&Sign directory. This directory is on the disc that includes "Microsoft Visual C++" on the label. (Disc 1 if you purchased Visual C++; Disc 3 if you purchased Visual Studio.)

Some ActiveX Controls Created with Visual Basic Generate Error in ActiveX Test Container on Resize

Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 supports the creation of ActiveX Controls (OCX's). Some controls that are created with Visual Basic set the OLEMISC_NOUIACTIVATE bit. If the control is inserted into the ActiveX Test Container and then is resized, the ActiveX Test Container attempts a DoVerb (OLEIVERB_UIACTIVATE) call that results in the following error:

   Failed to connect. Link may be broken.

This problem is being investigated. This does not impede hosting the control in Visual C++.

Oracle Joins and MSRDC20.OCX (Remote Data Control V2)

If you use the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle with the Microsoft Remote Data Control (MRDC20.OCX) and your SQL statement contains a join (or includes a reference to a view that contains a join), you may encounter the following driver error: "SC100: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver for Oracle]Driver not capable"

Workaround

Change the CursorDriver, LockType, and ResultsetType properties. The following settings will work:

   CursorDriver = 'ODBC Cursor'

   LockType = ' Optimistic Concurrency'

   ResultsetType = 'Create a Static Cursor'

Current, Localized ActiveX Redistributable Components

The ActiveX redistributable components that ship with Visual C++ 5.0 were current when the product was released to manufacturing. You can always check http://www.microsoft.com/intdev/sdk/ for the most current components.

NOTE: If your Internet application will be used in an Internet Explorer localized environment, your application should use the localized ActiveX components that are available from this site, otherwise the components contained on this CD may overwrite Internet
