[sword-devel] Successful windows CE sword.dll

[Johan Gorter]

Hello Daniel,

I am not exactly sure how an ActiveX DLL works, but as I understand it,
it requires every class to have a COM-interface as well as some other
added functionality. This would, I think, require that all objects, that
the user of the .dll can interact with, to have this functionality. If
this is the case, then all objects would need to be rewritten to use
'reference counting' and stuff.

I am also not sure if you can develop in VB for windows CE. Windows CE
is what I am focussing on right now.

I am sorry I cannot be of more help,

Johan

Could you also build an ActiveX DLL so VBers could make frontends for
windows desktops?  I don't know how.
