ObjectDBX - R15 & R16

Can the AxDb15.dll and AxDb16.dll be "loaded(?)" on the same machine? I
don't have 2004 so I can't play around with it. There are some guy's over
at the ADT NG that are trying to use a utility I wrote for R15 that uses
this activex object but they're getting "Error: Failed to register ObjectDBX
ActiveX services". I'm not going to have them going into the registry and
start deleting things!

I've re-written the utility to use the new AxDb16.dll but I think it must be
attempting to use the same class id. The registry location is
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument\\CLSID". If anyone has any
knowledge please share - thanks!!!

It would (edited) if they can't coexist.

James,
Acad 2002 (using AxDb15.dll) and Acad 2004 (using AxDb16.dll) can be
installed side by side, so I would expect the two dlls to cooperate, but
can't say that I've tried it.

James:

Check out David Stein's "Visual Lisp Developers Bible" by searching the net
using that quoted phrase. He's got some neat ObjectDBX sample tools that could
be used to force alternating between DLL versions.

They can coexist, AxDb16.dll doesn't need registering.

Terry,
So I don't need to call regsvr32.exe to "register" the dll? Ok. So that's
different from AxDb15.dll which needed to be registered first. I'll give it
a go - thanks Terry, John, and Mike for the replies.

Did you ever resolve this Jim? I just ran into the same issue. I've been
using some code that came from you (Thank you!) for R2002. Your function
jb:OpenDbxDocument first calls RegisterObjectDBX (with thanks to Tony
Tanzillo), which sees that ObjectDBX has been registered by looking in the
registry:
(vl-registry-read "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument\\CLSID")

But it's AxDb15.dll that has been registered. I'm not clear on how they can
coexist. Your jb:OpenDbxDocument function then proceeds to do this:
(setq
*dbxDoc* (vla-GetInterfaceObject
(vlax-get-acad-object) "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument")
)
and this is where I get
"Automation Error. Problem in loading application"

So, how do we solve this? Oh, and the R2002 version must also continue to
work. Any answers?

Thanks,
Ken Krupa

Yah gotta do versioning, baby! With A2k4, ObjectDBX is already registered.
So it should be as simple as:

(if (> (atoi (getvar "AcadVer")) 15)
(setq *dbxDoc* (vla-GetInterfaceObject
(vlax-get-acad-object) "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.16"))
(setq *dbxDoc* (vla-GetInterfaceObject
(vlax-get-acad-object) "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument")))

OK, "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.16" is the ticket. Thanks very much!

Yup, especially since she lives in the Ozarks!
