Re: VB6 events

Hi Philip,
NewJawin supports only OLE Automation with event handling (including ActiveX with GUI). The code of custom interface support (IUnknown) and static function call was disabled. In NewJawin I tried to hide any COM specifics from Java Programmer. All demos sources (VB6, .NET and WebStart included) are packed in corresponding JARs. So you can unpack an example and run it in Debug Mode.
BTW I tested JACOZOOM and guess it can be also good for you.

Regards,
Vitaly Shelest

  Dear Stu and Vitally,

  Can you tell me if the NewJawin 1.2.2 now supports ActiveX event handling?
  The note below from 2002 said it was not supported.

  If events are supported, are there demo/sample code included in the
  download, or can you give me sample code here?

  Thanks for all pointers!
  Philip
