[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Problem with ActiveX

["Veronika Irvine" <veronika_irvine@xxxxxxx>]

SWT currently only supports the CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER | CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER
case.  You can enter an enhancement request in bugzilla against Platform SWT
for extending this to CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER and CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER.  This
requires much more than just moving from OleCreate to CoCreateInstance since
it involves dealing with multiple threads and replacing the OleCreate
functionality (CoCreateInstance is only one of the calls made by OleCreate).
You will get a faster response if you can provide some of the required
implementation.
