Building a Client Application That Uses an ActiveX Proxy
To build a client application that uses an ActiveX proxy (Automation Controller), you must first perform the following steps in the specified order on the system where you plan to build the application:
- To build the client application on machine other than the proxy machine, you must:
- Copy the proxy (
.dll
file) to any directory on the system.- Copy the Open Client Runtime package to any directory on the system. For more information, see the "Selecting an Open Client Runtime Package" section.
- Copy the ActiveX Open Client support library, Progress-Install-Directory
\bin\o4glActiveX.dll
, to any directory on the system.- If you do not have Version 5.00.3182 or later of the Microsoft JVM on your machine, run
msjavx86.exe
to install the Microsoft JVM and related Java classes. You can findmsjavx86.exe
on the Progress installation CD or you can obtain it from the Microsoft Web site.- Update the CLASSPATH environment variable to include the Open Client Runtime package you copied in Step 1.
- Register the proxy by running Microsoft’s
RegSvr32.exe
on the proxy.dll
file.- Register the ActiveX Open Client support library by running Microsoft’s
RegSvr32.exe
on theo4glActiveX.dll
file (located inProgress-Install-Directory
\bin
or in the directory where you copied this file in part c of Step 1).- Write, compile, and execute the client application (Automation Controller). For more information, see "Programming Concepts," and Programming ActiveX Controller Clients."
