Deployment Problem, BCB 6

Version:

Chart FX client server, Cfx4032.ocx, V5.0.5.0

Symptom:

Using above from BCB 6, works OK on development system .

When deployed on  other machines, (XP and Win95), it gives a "Library not

registered." message the first time the program tries to set a property in

the ChartFX object.

Info:

In BCB 6,  Imported the chartFX ActiveX control, dropped on form. Not

dynamically created.

Deployed using InstallShield Express, full version.

All files necessary for deployment, according to manual, are in the

common/Software FX Shared/ directory.

Dependencies also determined dynamically with the InstallShield wizard.

Tried registering dll's and ocx with regsvr32, no difference.

I though it might be a problem with the IClassFactory2 licensing, which

should be handled by the

BCB TOleControl class, I think, but the error message doesn't seem right for

that, and it seems like that would happen when the form is constructed.

Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions?

Thanks

I successfully registered both cfx4032.ocx and sfxbar.dll.

The install also successfully registered them, I believe.

I  worked through the program with WinDbg on the target while using the IDE

debugger on the development system at the same time so I could  get the

locations and symbols, (since borland doesn't produce a dbg type file for

use with Windbg) and discovered the following:

The following routine  in the OleCtrls.pas  is executed when the class is

constructed:

procedure TOleControl.CreateInstance;

var

  ClassFactory2: IClassFactory2;

  LicKeyStr: WideString;

  procedure LicenseCheck(Status: HResult; const Ident: string);

  begin

    if Status = CLASS_E_NOTLICENSED then

      raise EOleError.CreateFmt(Ident, [ClassName]);

    OleCheck(Status);

  end;

begin

  if not (csDesigning in ComponentState) and

    (FControlData^.LicenseKey <> nil) then

  begin

    OleCheck(CoGetClassObject(FControlData^.ClassID, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER or

      CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, nil, IClassFactory2, ClassFactory2));

    LicKeyStr := PWideChar(FControlData^.LicenseKey);

    LicenseCheck(ClassFactory2.CreateInstanceLic(nil, nil, IOleObject,

      LicKeyStr, FOleObject), SInvalidLicense);

  end else

    LicenseCheck(CoCreateInstance(FControlData^.ClassID, nil,

      CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER or CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, IOleObject,

      FOleObject), SNotLicensed);

end;

The program takes the first branch and calls CreateInstanceLic() and the

License check and OleCheckStatus() are OK.

This leads me to believe there is not a licensing problem, although I am

puzzled that the TChartFX::wLicenseKey produced when the control is imported

into the ide is not the same string that I get from running Cfx98Info.exe.

I discovered that the deployed program is failing when the following code is

executed:

   variableType = eFlow;

    TWaitCursor twait;

    FlowChartFX->Width = 617;

    FlowChartFX->TypeMask = (FlowChartFX->TypeMask | SCATTER);

  The width statement executes OK, but the TypeMask statement causes the

error. The error is coming when this routine in  OleCtrls is executed while

executing the TypeMask statement.

procedure TOleControl.GetProperty(Index: Integer; var Value: TVarData);

var

  Status: HResult;

  ExcepInfo: TExcepInfo;

begin

  CreateControl;

  Value.VType := varEmpty;

  Status := FControlDispatch.Invoke(Index, GUID_NULL, 0,

    DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, DispParams, @Value, @ExcepInfo, nil);

  if Status <> 0 then DispatchInvokeError(Status, ExcepInfo);

end;

Status returned was 8002801d, a non-zero value which caused

DispatchInvokeError(Status, ExcepInfo) to be called.

This doesn't happen on the design system.

What is different between the code running on the design platform vs the

deployed system that would cause this to cause an error on the deployed

system?

Tnx,

Geary

Additional Info:

I removed the offending TypeMask statement and the error then occured when I

tried to set a property:

   FlowChartFX->LegStyle=CL_NOTCLIPPED;

The failure was again a non-zero return (8002801d) in the SetProperty

routine:

procedure TOleControl.SetProperty(Index: Integer; const Value: TVarData);

const

  DispIDArgs: Longint = DISPID_PROPERTYPUT;

var

  Status, InvKind: Integer;

  DispParams: TDispParams;

  ExcepInfo: TExcepInfo;

begin

  CreateControl;

  DispParams.rgvarg := @Value;

  DispParams.rgdispidNamedArgs := @DispIDArgs;

  DispParams.cArgs := 1;

  DispParams.cNamedArgs := 1;

  if Value.VType <> varDispatch then

    InvKind := DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT else

    InvKind := DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF;

  Status := FControlDispatch.Invoke(Index, GUID_NULL, 0,

    InvKind, DispParams, nil, @ExcepInfo, nil);

  if Status <> 0 then DispatchInvokeError(Status, ExcepInfo);

end;

I believe this is in fact a license problem, basically the object was not

created only the wrapper was, that's why Width and Height work, because

these are properties on the container.

I suspect the license information stored in your EXE is incorrect maybe

because it is the license information corresponding to another version of

Chart FX. Please try the following:

1) Create a simple EXE program that just displays a chart, compile it and

run it in a computer where Chart FX is not installed (but it is registered)

2) Please e-mail us the license string being passed to CreateInstanceLic

3) Make sure you don't have any remaining files for an older version of

Chart FX, remove the component from the gallery, then remove all files and

then re-import it. Then repeat steps 1) and 2)

I seem to have found a solution.

I was able to get everything working by going to the underlying interfaces.

The following examples illustrate what I mean.

  Instead of  ChartFX->Scrollable  or ChartFx->Title I had to go to:

   TCOMIChartFX IControl;

   IControl = ChartFX->ControlInterface;

   IControl.set_Scrollable(false);

   IControl.set_Title( CHART_TOPTIT, L"FLOW" );

As another illustration, to set Axis properties I had to go to:

    ICfxAxis * pXAxis;

    pXAxis = FlowChartFX->Axis->get_Item(AXIS_X);

    pXAxis->Min = 0;

    pXAxis->Max =24;

    pXAxis->LabelValue = 1;

Offhand it looks like Borland has a problem in their import of the Active-X

control.
