Using OCX in ORACLE Forms 6.0

[bsysoft]

Hi

I would like to use Direct Skin OCX in to my Forms 6.0 to change the skin. The document says for C++ use the following:
w.LoadUIS("macpc.uis"
w.InitWB();
w.DoWindow((long) hWnd);

My question is how I can use this OCX functions into my ORACLE Forms 6.0 ? I never used OCX controls before within Forms 6.0 and any help will be greatly appreciated..

I created the ActiveX control and inserted the above OCX but I don't know how to proceed further...

any way all the best

There is nothing complex in using OCX in Forms. The only drawback is lack of portability.
1. Add OCX control to your block (single-record recommended)
2. invoke menu by clicking right button on this item and chose Insert Object (select control type).
3. Set Control Properties from property palette (at this moment your item should be visible via layout editor)
4. Import interfaces by invoking Program/Import OLE Library Interfaces...
5. Write your own event handlers and make other things you need.
6. Feel free to ask a question to somebody with positive experience
