Detailed Description

Property Documentation

classContext : const ulong

This property holds the context the ActiveX control will run in (default CLSCTX_SERVER).

The property affects the "dwClsContext" argument when calling CoCreateInstance. This can be used to control in-proc vs. out-of-proc startup for controls supporting both alternatives. Also, it can be used to modify/reduce control permissions when used with CLSCTX_ENABLE_CLOAKING and an impersonation token.

Note that it must be set before setControl() to have any effect.

See also control.

control : const QString

This property holds the name of the COM object wrapped by this QAxBaseWidget object.

Setting this property initializes the COM object. Any COM object previously set is shut down.

The most efficient way to set this property is by using the registered component's UUID, e.g.

ctrl->setControl("{8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02}");

The second fastest way is to use the registered control's class name (with or without version number), e.g.

ctrl->setControl("MSCal.Calendar");

The slowest, but easiest way to use is to use the control's full name, e.g.

ctrl->setControl("Calendar Control 9.0");

It is also possible to initialize the object from a file, e.g.

ctrl->setControl("c:/files/file.doc");

If the component's UUID is used the following patterns can be used to initialize the control on a remote machine, to initialize a licensed control or to connect to a running object:

To initialize the control on a different machine use the following pattern:
```
<domain/username>:<password>@server/{8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02}
```
To initialize a licensed control use the following pattern:
```
{8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02}:<LicenseKey>
```
To connect to an already running object use the following pattern:
```
{8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02}&
```

The first two patterns can be combined, e.g. to initialize a licensed control on a remote machine:

ctrl->setControl("DOMAIN/user:password@server/{8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02}:LicenseKey");

The control's read function always returns the control's UUID, if provided including the license key, and the name of the server, but not including the username, the domain or the password.

Member Function Documentation

`[signal]` void QAxBaseWidget::exception(int code, const QString &source, const QString &desc, const QString &help)

This signal is emitted when the COM object throws an exception while called using the OLE automation interface IDispatch. code, source, desc and help provide information about the exception as provided by the COM server and can be used to provide useful feedback to the end user. help includes the help file, and the help context ID in brackets, e.g. "filename [id]".

See also QAxBaseObject::exception().

`[signal]` void QAxBaseWidget::propertyChanged(const QString &name)

If the COM object supports property notification, this signal gets emitted when the property called name is changed.

See also QAxBaseObject::propertyChanged().

`[signal]` void QAxBaseWidget::signal(const QString &name, int argc, void **argv*)

This generic signal gets emitted when the COM object issues the event name. argc is the number of parameters provided by the event (DISPPARAMS.cArgs), and argv is the pointer to the parameter values (DISPPARAMS.rgvarg). Note that the order of parameter values is turned around, ie. the last element of the array is the first parameter in the function.

void Receiver::slot(const QString &name, int argc, void *argv)
{
    VARIANTARG *params = (VARIANTARG*)argv;
    if (name.startsWith("BeforeNavigate2(")) {
        IDispatch *pDisp = params[argc-1].pdispVal;
        VARIANTARG URL = *params[argc-2].pvarVal;
        VARIANTARG Flags = *params[argc-3].pvarVal;
        VARIANTARG TargetFrameName = *params[argc-4].pvarVal;
        VARIANTARG PostData = *params[argc-5].pvarVal;
        VARIANTARG Headers = *params[argc-6].pvarVal;
        bool *Cancel = params[argc-7].pboolVal;
    }
}

Use this signal if the event has parameters of unsupported data types. Otherwise, connect directly to the signal name.

See also QAxBaseObject::signal().
