An ActiveX Test Container

This application implements a generic test container for ActiveX controls. You can insert ActiveX controls installed on your system, and execute methods and modify properties. The container will log information about events and property changes as well as debug output in the log window.

The GUI has been implemented utilizing the TQt Designer integration of the TQAxContainer module. Parts of the code use internals of the TQt meta object and ActiveTQt framework and are not recommended to be used in application code.

Use the application to view the slots, signals and porperties available through the TQAxWidget class when instantiated with a certain ActiveX, and to test ActiveX controls you implement or want to use in your TQt application.

The application can load and execute script files in JavaScript, VBScript, Perl and Python to program the controls loaded. Example script files using the TQAxWidget2 class are available in the scripts subdirectory.

Note that the qmake project of this example includes a resource file testcon.rc with a version resource. This is retquired by some ActiveX controls (ie. Shockwave ActiveX Controls), which might crash or misbehave otherwise if such version information is missing.

To build the tool you must first build the TQAxContainer library. Then run your make tool in tools/testcon and run the resulting testcon.exe.
