Users who need to view a Web page that includes a PowerBuilder window ActiveX require supporting software installed on their client workstations and a connection to the Web server.
Component |
Details |
|---|---|
An Internet or intranet connection |
Available within your corporation or from an Internet service provider. |
A Web browser that supports ActiveX |
Available from the browser vendor, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer. |
PowerBuilder runtime DLLs |
Install the runtime files as described in “PowerBuilder runtime files”. The PowerBuilder runtime DLLs belong in the application directory or in a directory on the system path. The PowerBuilder window ActiveX must be able to access the PowerBuilder virtual machine (and any other required runtime DLLs). To accomplish this, you can add the directory for the PowerBuilder runtime DLLs to the system path, or you can place the runtime DLLs in the Windows\System32 directory. |
PowerBuilder window ActiveX module |
Copy the file PBRX105.OCX to the client workstation and register it. Alternatively, you can add the CODEBASE attribute to the Object element, which causes the browser to download and register it when the page is loaded. |
Other files |
If you did not include image resources in the PBDs, copy them to the paths specified in the object properties if they are not there already. If the PowerBuilder window ActiveX application connects to a database, set up client software for the DBMS. For how to connect to a DBMS from the client machine, see Connecting to Your Database. |
