I think this is not a bug and since I don't have enough info on DLL's and so on I just want to ask:

If I compile the errormsg example in fasmw164 everything works nice. But then I used regsvr32 errormsg.dll .. and it doesn't succed? any idea why? or does this only work for system DLLs?

Just curious

It doesn't have:
DllRegisterServer and
DllUnregisterServer

Thanks for the info! Now I get it!

Since this topic is about activeX controls in fasm, has anyone ever made a activeX component with fasm? Not something that uses an interface to a Com object like ITaskBarList as in the example USECOM.ASM that comes with fasm but an actual activeX dll/exe with DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer etc that can be called by scripts or even loaded in internet explorer. I've seen the masm examples ( yikes!!!! ) but nothing for fasm .... or is such a things just not worth it in assembler?

imho, you can port this masm source code to fasm

Vasilev, I think a little humility on my part is needed, basically I haven't got the skills to achieve the porting of the masm source code to fasm so if you haven't worked it out by my post above, I'm hoping one/some of you amazing skilled fasm people here may have the spare time to at least give it a shot so others can learn from you ..... or to be completely honest, I want someone to do all the work so I can steal their code

Seriously though, just a "hello world" that loads in internet explorer (or can be called from csript/wscript) exposing a method and maybe also creating an event would be cool.

If you're still interested I've created several DLL's in g++ that could probably be ported to FASM to show how make an COM DLL. To create a COM DLL though you do need part of Visual Studio or the Platform SDK. The tool that you need takes an IDL file and creates a TLB.

Thanks,

Devin

Hi drs, thanks for the offer but the masm package has all the needed code and several examples. I just thought that since using com from fasm was so straight forward creating a activeX object with fasm maybe easier in fasm than in masm but clearly it's not because I think someone would have ported the masm code by now if it was.
