OleObject and 64bits

Alejandro_Fresno_Meyer · October 15, 2014, 3:47pm

Is there any way to work with OleObjects and 64bit applications ?

As far as I know Xojo is only 32bits and this kind of apps are not allowed to com with 64bit applications in Windows. All my tests have failed.

Any workaround besides from modifying the Windows register ?

Thanks.

wait for 64bit xojo? Or write app in Visual Basic to do the OLE things.

VB is the way I go now but would love to unify Mac and Pc versions. I guess there is no schedule for 64bit Xojo, right?

2015 may be the right year.

You might add 1 year for bugs fixes 2016

Hi Alejandro,

One question and one comment:

Question (out of curiosity and to try to learn from your experience): You say [quote=135493:@Alejandro Fresno Meyer]As far as I know Xojo is only 32bits and this kind of apps are not allowed to com with 64bit applications in Windows. All my tests have failed. [/quote] What is what you are trying to do, what have you tried and how did it fail?

Comment: OLE objects and Windows-only objects, so you can’t use them in MacOS, if I am not mistaken
