ActiveX - how do I use it ?

[queensoft]

I have this ActiveX editor - Lite version:

Description: http://www.xstandard.com/en/products/#lite

Developer's Guide: http://www.xstandard.com/en/documentation/xstandard-dev-guide/

Download: http://www.xstandard.com/en/downloads/?product=lite

Or download OCX directly: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37917586/XStandard.ocx

I have absolutelly no ideea how to use it.

I have this little piece of code from another forum page, foxitreader activex:

#include<GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include<WindowsConstants.au3>

$PDFViewer = ObjCreate("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
If Not IsObj($PDFViewer) Then
MsgBox(0,'','not')
Exit
EndIf

$Gui = GUICreate ( "Test", 830, 580,(@DesktopWidth-830)/2, (@DesktopHeight-580)/2 , Bitor($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW ,$WS_VISIBLE , $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj ( $PDFViewer, -1, -1, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight)
GUICtrlSetResizing ( $GUIActiveX, $GUI_DOCKAUTO)
GUISetState ()

; $PDFViewer.OpenFile ("C:\test.pdf" ,"" );

While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

GUIDelete()

But, I have absolutely no ideea how to get the ObjCreate name/ID/whatever it's called and then the functions (like .OpenFile from example).

I have already tried MS OLE/COM Object Viewer (oleview.exe), PE Explorer, Nirsoft DLL Export Viewer - they showed some events and functions, but I was unable to use them properly.

I have registered the OCX successfully (regsvr32 XStandard.ocx)

I'd try

$PDFViewer = ObjCreate("xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")

$PDFViewer = ObjCreate("XStandard")

or

$PDFViewer = ObjCreate("XStandard XHTML Editor 1.3")

[queensoft]

Nope, not working.

[JohnOne]

How about starting with what your actual problem is. Details.

[queensoft]

All right: I need a simple (free) HTML editor in my program, with toolbar (bold/italic/underline, left/center/right align, insert/position image, text color)

Or a rich text editor, capable of saving in HTML format, of course, same toolbar.

Look >here

This control is the same manufacturer.

[queensoft]

That doesn't help much.

I still can't guess/find the correct ObjCreate.

And the XZip documentation is much better (at least for me).

For example:

Set objZip = Server.CreateObject("XStandard.Zip")
objZip.Pack "C:\Temp\golf.jpg", "C:\Temp\images.zip"

Bingo !

I have found this Rich Text Editor Control - it has all options, except adding picture and save as HTML (I guess I can create a simple parser/convertor for this one):

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

But I really need picture add/position.

All right, now we're talking.

How did you found out ObjCreate("XStandard.XHTMLEditor") ?

All right, new problem: I have managed to add custom Save button to toolbar.

But how do I read the events ?

Button: http://www.xstandard.com/en/documentation/xstandard-dev-guide/interface/

Save document - This button provides a hook for custom programming by generating an event.

Events read by DLL Export Viewer: _DXHTMLEditorEvents::ButtonClicked

So, I made this, but not working:

#include<GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include<WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

$PDFViewer = ObjCreate("XStandard.XHTMLEditor")

; Initialize a custom Event Handler
$oFormEvt=ObjEvent($PDFViewer,"xevent_")
If @error Then
MsgBox(0,"", @error)
EndIf

$Gui = GUICreate ( "Test", 850, 600, -1, -1, Bitor($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW ,$WS_VISIBLE , $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj ( $PDFViewer, 1, 1, 800, 500)
$PDFViewer.ToolbarWysiwyg = 'strong,,unordered-list, image,, hyperlink,, save'
GUICtrlSetResizing ( $GUIActiveX, $GUI_DOCKAUTO)

GUISetState ($Gui, @SW_SHOW)

While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

GUIDelete()

; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
Func xevent_ButtonClicked()
MsgBox(0, "123", "123")
EndFunc

Did some more research, using Visual Basic 6.

Added OCX file as Project > Components, then added control to the form.

Everything is working, except the last Sub XHTMLEditor1_ButtonClicked - nothing happens when I click a toolbar button.

Also, now I can see all events and functions - it would be great to show me how to use them in AutoIt.

Private Sub Form_Load()
XHTMLEditor1.ToolbarWysiwyg = "strong,,unordered-list, image,, hyperlink,, save"
XHTMLEditor1.Value = "tyasfdtyasgvaj sdbvfjkasdf "
End Sub

Private Sub XHTMLEditor1_ButtonClicked(ByVal sButton As String, ByVal sState As String)
MsgBox (sButton)
End Sub

Already used OLE/COM Object Viewer.

Right now I have found ProgID = XStandard.XHTMLEditor

Any other usefull information there ? I couldn't find one.

Well, cr*p, missed that one.

I have noticed that Pro limitation on other things, but not on the Buttons event.

Thanks for all your help.

Any free ActiveX Rich Text or HTML editors out there ?!

_GUICtrlRichEdit_Create

[queensoft]

Default AutoIt has no toolbar. I really need toolbar.

Alread found rudimentary toolbar, see message above.

Also, really need insert image. Which is not covered at all in any forum thread.

Looking at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/220844 but don't understand anything at all

[mLipok]

look here:

Please do not change previous old post in the future.

Just add new post.

Because now I'am confused - I do not know which one you mean.

Holy cow, image paste seems to work.

I did not change old post, I was just referring an old post.

Specifically this one - #7 -
