Hi,
First let me describe what I am trying to do, and then the way that I am
trying to do it to see if there are any other suggestions, before getting to my
immediate questions.
I have written a IDL Gui application that opens a file, processes the data, and
then displays the results. It works nicely as a stand-alone application. Now I
have to tie that into by Corba based distributed system. So instead of the user
opening a file to initiate things, the file is sent through corba. Right now,
all of the corba code is written in c++. So currently I have 2 separate
applications. One that shows the receiving of messages (written in c++ and
outputs to console), and one that analyzes the data and graphically displays
results (IDL). I need to tie these together.
The only way that I can figure out how to do this, is to use the activeX
features of IDL, and embed IDL into my c++ code. Does anyone have any examples
of how to do this? The documentation uses Visual Basic, but I dont have visual
basic, I have visual c++. So I am looking for examples based on visual c++.
Thanks
Neil

I'm not sure if this will be of any help, but is it possible to run IDL on
windows in server mode? If so, you could send IDL commands, along with
data, from your C++ code to IDL and get IDL to process and display the
results. It really depends on the amount of data to be transferred.
Or maybe you can make a call from IDL to your C++ code which receives the
data? I don't know how you receive your data, but maybe the C++ code could
wait until it received the data then return to IDL where it would be
processed and displayed.
I'm just guessing really without more details.
