Note #: 0830

Product: ActiveX controls and OpenDeveloper

Version: 68

Date Added:  06/27/08

Issue:

Console-based (“formless”) applications written in C++ or Python (console driven and no user interface) are not compatible with previous versions of ActiveX and OpenDeveloper controls. Methods called on an instantiated ActiveX or OpenDeveloper control fail to work..   

Solution:

The latest versions of ActiveX and OpenDeveloper controls provide support for formless applications. Update to the latest version of ActiveX or OpenDeveloper. A patch for v66 is available from TDT support.
