Hello,
I'm using the Active-X component in another programming language (Xojo (https://xojo.com)) where I'm compiling a 64-bit EXE.
I assumed that Active-X controls were always 32-bit and the language is calling the appropriate 32-bit support libraries. But in the case of the Multimediasoft controls, you ship a 64-bit dll along with the component as well.
I'm curious how this works for distribution. For VB6 I would just ship the 32-bit dll as all my executables were 32-bit. But now that I'm compiling a 64-bit exe, what's the proper way to distribute the active-x and required files?
Cheers!
Hello,
activex controls, as any other DLL, can be in both 32 and 64 bits: vb6 is a 32 bits application so it cannot manage the 64 bits version of the controls but other languages like VC++ can.
Information about the way to redistribute our ActiveX components can be found inside the documentation section "Files to be included with your application"; below is the one for Active DJ Studio:
Files to be included with your application (https://www.multimediasoft.com/amp3dj/help/amp3dj_000002.htm)
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards
