Hi,

We're using CommandBars and DockingPane 12.0.2. The app is built in 32-bit. When I deploy it on a 64-bit WinXP, everything installs fine, and the OCX files register properly (I checked in the Registry), but when the app starts, I nevertheless get the message about a non-registered COM component (more specifically, it complains about Codejock.CommandBarsGlobalSettings.12.0.2).

Is there a way around this?

Best,
Michal Blazejczyk

Hi,

Is it .NET application ? Did you change CPU type from "Any CPU" to "x86" ?

Hi Oleg,

Yes, it is a .NET application. It is build with "Any CPU" setting.

Is there somewhere a FAQ / Knowledge Base article where I can read about the compatibility between CodeJock's ActiveX controls and 64-bit Windows?

Best,
Michal

Hi,

You have switch to x86 :(

our ActiveX are 32 bit dlls, so they can't work with 64 bit exe.

Hi,

But if I switch to x86, it will still run on 64-bit Windows, right?

As a general note, I think you realize that sticking to 32-bit ActiveX controls is not going to get you very far on today's market. A pure .NET version of Codejock components is long overdue. I myself will be seriously looking at moving to a another product for my command bar and docking needs because my app would really benefit from a 64-bit version.

Michal

Oleg,

Hi.

I just created a x64 configuration from the "Any CPU" configuration. Rebuilt all my DLL's under this, deleted the refeneces from the main application to those DLL's and now pointed to them in the x64 folder, and tried to run under Vista 64 and I get the COM Exception error on the "XtremeCalendarContro.CalendarGlobalSettings()". I'm using the 13.0 version of the suite.

So the question is, is there something I'm missing in those AND/OR what are the steps to rectify this???

Thanks,

Steve

You should use x86 (32-Bit) and not x64 (64-bit) as oleg described.
