Are out-process servers insertable to PowerPoint ?
Message 1 in thread
I wonder if out-process servers are insertable to PowerPoint.
Qt doc says: “Microsoft Office applications are supported, but you need
to register the controls as "Insertable" objects.”
The doc also says “RegisterObject” should be “yes”
I took C:\Qt\4.3.0beta\examples\activeQt\opengl\GLBox,
and set
Q_CLASSINFO("Insertable","yes")
Q_CLASSINFO("RegisterObject","yes")
Then, GLBox does appear in the object list in PowerPoint. But if I do
insert it, I get error :-(
“Component not correctly registered”
even though Qt’s idc /regserver shows:
“Server registered successfully!”
What's wrong? Does anyone know how to let GLBox appear in PowerPoint?
More info: I use qt-win-commercial-4.3.0beta-vs2003.exe, WindowsXP, and
Microsoft Office 2003.
Thanks in advance,
Lingfa

I'd find it more interesting, how to use OpenOffice parts this way...

"OpenOffice.org 1.1 comes with an ActiveX control that allows users to
view OpenOffice.org documents within a browser window (Internet
Explorer) on the Windows platform. The ActiveX control can also be used
within native applications developed in Microsoft VisualBasic or Borland
Delphi."

I don't think that out-of-process objects can be insertable. At the very
least you need to implement an in-proc handler for this - and ActiveQt
doesn't do that (and I wouldn't advise going there).
RegisterObject has nothing to do with this. It means that the object
created is registered in COM's ROT.
