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.

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")

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.
