ISEDQuickPdf wth RealBasic

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Anybody got an idea of how to use ISEDQuickPdf library with 2005/2006 versions of RealBasic? I've tried to add the ActiveX to the project with the Project/Add command but it does not show up? It has been registered.
Maybe it can be instantiated with code without having to be "added" to the project?   I know that MBS has a pluging that works with it but I am wondering why I can't use it directly.

	I don't know RealBasic, but iSEDQuickPDF doesn't have any sort of visual interface, it's a COM component. Whatever mechanism RB uses to instantiate a COM object should work... There's also the DLL version, if RB supports DLL's. Edited by chicks

	I figured it out. You have to use declares. Seems to work great. Just put the dll in the same folder as the application you compile. Declare Function iSEDUnlockKey Lib "iSEDQuickPDf.dll" ( sRegKey As CString ) As Integer Declare Function iSEDDrawText Lib "iSEDQuickPDF.dll" (dXPos As Double,dYPos As Double, sText As CString) As Integer Declare Function iSEDSaveToFile Lib "iSEDQuickPDF.dll" (sFileName As CString) As Integer Dim a as integer a=iSEDUnlockKey("*****") a=iSEDDrawText(100, 500, "Hello World!") a=iSEDSaveToFile("c:\test.pdf") Edited by xbww

	OK, so you are using the DLL version. The download from the iSEDQuickPDF site includes a .inc file for PowerBASIC that has all the declares. You will probably need to change a few of them for RB, but most should be correct.
