Are there any real-life applications in Forte that depend heavily on
one or more of:
OLE
DDE
C++ wrappering
and any testimonials on how well/badly this worked (in terms of
performance or ease of implementation)? A customer would like to feel
comfortable knowing others have done what he intends to need...

Theo,
I could provide you some informations about both DDE
and OLE integrations. What are precisely the aspects
you wanted to address in this boundary ??

James, We're trying to do some initial playtoy-program investigation to see how easy/difficult it will be to integrate a number of external devices and their interfaces into a larger commercial program to be built. It involves integrating scanned contracts from Lotus Mail or MS Mail to be shown in Forte (native or by starting the Mail program with the contact opened up), some weigh bridges for verhicles, radiation detectors, and "Buttons" (i.e. electronic authentication devices to verify people are who they say they are instead of passwords). Within the mail segment, I just tried to use MAPI OLE and cycle through the mail messages in the Inbox to count them. After the last one, the MAPI documentation says the GetNext method returns nil. So I expect to be able to get this nil somewhere in the Forte CDispatch pointer that links to the OLE object... Theo | |||||
