In today's application develop market, there are thousands of prebuilt components
that you can plug into your applications, extending the functionality of your applications
instantaneously. Originally the domain of Visual Basic programmers, now you can use
readily available ActiveX controls with just about any Windows programming language,
including Visual C++. Today you will learn how you can add ActiveX controls to your
Visual C++ applications, taking advantage of their existing functionality. Some of
the topics that you will cover today are</P>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>What ActiveX controls are and how they work.
<P>
<LI>How you can add ActiveX controls to your project workspace.
<P>
<LI>How you can use the ActiveX control in your Visual C++ application.
<P>
<LI>How to call the various methods associated with the ActiveX control.
<P>
<LI>How to handle events that are triggered by the ActiveX control.
</UL>
<H2><A NAME="Heading1"></A>What Is an ActiveX Control?</H2>
<P>An ActiveX control is a software component that can be plugged into many different
programs and used as if it were a native part of the program. It's similar to the
concept of separate stereo components. If you buy a new tape deck, you can just plug
it into the rest of your stereo and it works with everything else you already have.
ActiveX controls bring this same type of interoperability to software applications.</P>
<P>ActiveX used to be called OLE 2.0. OLE 2.0 was Microsoft's technology for combining
two or more applications to make them work as one (or at least to switch between
the various applications within the same application shell). This idea was an expansion
from the original OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) technology, which only enabled
you to combine documents created with different applications into a single document.
When revamping OLE technologies to work in a distributed environment (such as on
the Internet), Microsoft decided to also revamp the name. Thus, ActiveX was born.</P>
<P>
<H3><A NAME="Heading2"></A>ActiveX and the IDispatch Interface</H3>
<P>The ActiveX technology is built on top of Microsoft's COM (Component Object Model)
technology, utilizing its interface and interaction model for making ActiveX control
integration fairly seamless. The COM technology defines how ActiveX objects are constructed
and how their interfaces are designed. The ActiveX technology defines a layer that
is built on top of COM, what interfaces various objects should support, and how different
types of objects should interact.</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<HR>
<STRONG>NOTE:</STRONG> Microsoft's COM technology defines how applications and components
can interact through the use of interfaces. An interface is like a function call
into an ActiveX component. However, COM specifies how that function call must be
built and called, and what supporting functionality must accom-pany the function
call.<BR>
There are interfaces, like the IUnknown interface, that are required in every COM
object, and which are used to query the component to find out what other interfaces
are supported by the component. Each interface supports a specific set of functionality;
you might have one interface to handle the visual appearance of the control, another
to control how the control appearance interacts with the surrounding application,
another that triggers events in the surrounding application, and so on.
<HR>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>One of the key technologies in ActiveX controls is <I>automation</I>. Automation
enables an application embedded within another application to activate itself and
control its part of the user interface or document, making its changes and then shutting
itself down when the user moves on to another part of the application that isn't
controlled by the embedded application.</P>
<P>This process is what happens when you have an Excel spreadsheet embedded within
a Word document. If you click the spreadsheet, Excel becomes active and you can edit
the spreadsheet using Excel, even though you're still working in Word. Then, once
you finish making your changes to the spreadsheet, Excel closes itself down and you
can continue working in Word.</P>
<P>One of the keys to making automation work is a special interface called the IDispatch
(also known as the dispinterface) interface. The IDispatch interface consists of
a pointer to a table of available methods that can be run in the ActiveX control
or embedded application. These methods have ID numbers, called DISPIDs, which are
also loaded into a table that can be used to look up the ID for a specific method.
Once you know the DISPID for a specific method, you can call that method by calling
the Invoke method of the IDispatch interface, passing the DISPID to identify the
method to be run. Figure 9.1 shows how the IDispatch interface uses the Invoke method
to run methods in the ActiveX object.</P>
