ActiveX Control -- FINALLY

[smorris]

I don't know if this has been posted yet,

However, I downloaded DWG True View 2008 with the specific purpose to find out whether a functional ActiveX control was made available for use...

and yes, it is.

Finally I can embed the True View control inside of my custom App. Nothing earth shattering but it simplifies my life tremendously.

AcCtrl.dll is the file.

The most basic method... to open a file... is .putSourcePath

so if you are using MSAccess for example, you can add an ActiveX Control, mine is named DWGVIEWERCtrl in the ActiveX list. Simply reference that control with your Access VBA code and use the putSourcePath method and pass the full file path as the only argument. It will start up the True View engine and load that file.


SAMPLE CODE: (where DWGViewer is the name of the control)

Me.DWGViewer.PutSourcePath Me.Fullpath

I have embedded DWGTrueView 2008 in a custom app and 50% of the client machines get the same error message while the other half works with some reduction in speed. I have been digging for answers without success. Did you find anything?

I have similar issue for opening an DWG file in the IE 7 after installing DWG true view 2008. It opens up with the blank page or sometimes IE crashes or sometimes throws up error saying access violation. This works fine if I install DWG True view 2007. I am using “ACCTRL.DLL” “PutsourcePath” method for opening the file. If I use an VB application for opening the DWG file then it works fine without any issue. Any thoughts on what could be the issue.

I tried to open a DWG in IE 7 and it did nothing for me. However, I did find that some of the PCs on our network had the DEP set differently. Once we selected "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only", which is the first option, then DWGTrueView2008 started up just fine without reinstalling it.
For the record, I have included ACCTRLLib.dll as my reference.

Thanks for the reply. In my PC "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only" option has selected, but still no luck

我也遇到了同样的问题。难道必须安装"DwgTrueView"才可以使用吗？ Message was edited by: jdmei520
