- You have got to be kidding me! This sure is a bombshell!! So much for
- OpenDoc being cross-platform. I read the post from the OpenDoc list
- regarding a scheme for an object message layer to fix this utter disaster,
- but it seemed possibly far off.
-
- So, under windows, how should I proceed in the meantime? I want third
- party apps to be able to drive my part, so I can't use some proprietary
- scheme. Using OLE automation would be no problem if I were writing on OLE
- server, but since I am doing an OpenDoc part how do I support OLE
- automation? Any ideas? If you refer me to the OpenDoc list, would you
- provide the directions to subscribe?
-
- Sorry if I sound rather upset, but this is a real blow to my expectations.
- I was tempted to write our part using OLE a year ago, but my boss wanted
- me to use OpenDoc. I am beginning to regret not going with OLE, seeing
- that OpenDoc is going to be a Mac-only thing in this area (a big one I
- might add).
