OCX controls in 64-bit DIAdem

[Sasha_62]

Hello,

we are using Windows Common Controls from Microsoft, like MSComCtlLib, based on DLL like msconct2.ocx in 32-bit DIAdem dialogs as Active X objects. The controls are not recognized and are not usable by 64-bit DIAdem.

Do you know a way to avoid the issue, like start dialogs with 32-bit VBScript engine?

Any appropriate 64-bit Controls?

Other siggestion?

Hello Sasha,

I suppose the OCX is compiled for 32-bit, so thats probaly the cause why it is not working in 64-bit.

You could start a dialog in the 32-bit version with the function "ExtProgram" when you start DIAdem 32-bit with a parameter as a startscript. The startscript would run the dialog and when finsihed close the DIAdem 32-bit instance. You probably have to load and save some kind of data in the 32-bit version to exchange information with the 64-bit instance.

That anyone could help you with alternative controls, it would be good to know, what do you need those controls for?

Is there a 64-bit version for that library. Since that question (Any appropriate 64-bit Controls?) rather seems a Microsoft/non-DIAdem one, perhaps you should seek help for that part in a forum specialized with that.

Of course I try to help you along in all DIAdem related stuff.

Best regards,

Christoph

Thank you Christoph,

we are using "MSComCtlLib.TreeCtrl.2" and "MSComCtlLib.ImageListCtrl.2" from 32-bit mscomct2.ocx. I have not found any 64-bit replacement for that OCX. So we will use firstly 32-bit DIAdem and will rewrite our dialogs to not use such a controls.
