Hi.
I've imported an ActiveX control, which can be used to control a TWAIN
compatible scanner.
I want to use it's functionality on those clients, which have a scanner
attached.
But I would like to avoid installing this ActiveX control on all my clients.
If I don't install it; I get the error message "Class not registretet" and
the application shuts down.
So is there it possible to use late binding on an ActiveX control ( imported
in C++ Builder 5.0 ) ?
or must I put my scanner form ( with ActiveX control ) in a separate dll,
using LoadLibrary when needed?
Help will appriciated
Best regards
Jens

VCL wrapper in your project, is that correct?
onto your form at design-time, as you won't be able to catch the run-time
error. Use the 'new' operator to instantiate the wrapper object dynamically
at runtime instead. Otherwise, don't use a VCL wrapper at all, but call the
CoCreateInstance() function manually at run-time instead.
