Is there going to be a VISTA release of the NDAP OCX's? We've/I've been mandated
to have VISTA up and running in our classrooms by our Fall term in August....
come hell or high water. I need to re-write a few of my utilities before then
and they rely on NDAP controls.
Thanks. |

Hi Michael,
there is no longer any active engineering on any of the OCXs. There are no
plans to modify, fix or enhance the activex controls.
They were moved to the unsupported list some time back so it's use at your
own risk.
greets, Günter.

Wow.... I guess I'm REALLY up a creek without a paddle.
I have a whole set of applications that I wrote in VB using OCX to access
eDir... I heavily rely on these applications. Now that we're moving to VISTA
none of those will work.
Is there any substitute method(s) for using OCX to access eDir via VB?
Wow again.... Now I am more disappointed in Novell than ever. If Novell
keeps this up AD begins to sound more attractive.
Thanks.

why? Sorry, but I've not used Vista yet - but is there no downward
compatiblity? What causes that these controls do no longer work?

probably you can do most things with LDAP, but certainly not everything.
Anyway, with LDAP you're also one step closer to AD, smile....

welcome to my world! Yeah, this started already Nov-2005 when 600+ had to
leave - or did you think these were all only lazy bones? Hey, they fired the
developers, not the managers.....
But you should probably directly send a mail to support@novell.com and ask
what benefits the new marriage with M$ has now for us all.... - perhaps you
can run SuSE natively and then Vista inside Xen, and another virtual Xen with
W2K for backwards compatiblity...?

I can not get the ActiveX controls, NWDIR.OCX for example, to register in Vista.
We are using the 32bit version. Our mandate is due to the fact that
"we" are teaching these products so we are ALWAYS on the bleeding
edge. I don't have much more blood to give.
In the words for former president Clinton: "I feel your pain."
