# Wrapper Example (ActiveQt)

Files:

- activeqt/wrapper/main.cpp

The Wrapper example demonstrates how to export existing QWidget classes as ActiveX controls, and the use of QAxFactory together with the `QAXFACTORY_EXPORT()` macro. ActiveX controls in this example are the standard button classes QPushButton, QCheckBox and QRadioButton as provided by Qt.

     class ActiveQtFactory : public QAxFactory
     {
     public:
         ActiveQtFactory( const QUuid &lib, const QUuid &app )
             : QAxFactory( lib, app )
         {}
         QStringList featureList() const
         {
             QStringList list;
             list << "QCheckBox";
             list << "QRadioButton";
             list << "QPushButton";
             list << "QToolButton";
             return list;
         }
         QObject *createObject(const QString &key)
         {
             if ( key == "QCheckBox" )
                 return new QCheckBox(0);
             if ( key == "QRadioButton" )
                 return new QRadioButton(0);
             if ( key == "QPushButton" )
                 return new QPushButton(0 );
             if ( key == "QToolButton" ) {
                 QToolButton *tb = new QToolButton(0);
     //          tb->setIcon( QPixmap(fileopen) );
                 return tb;
             }

             return 0;
         }
         const QMetaObject *metaObject( const QString &key ) const
         {
             if ( key == "QCheckBox" )
                 return &QCheckBox::staticMetaObject;
             if ( key == "QRadioButton" )
                 return &QRadioButton::staticMetaObject;
             if ( key == "QPushButton" )
                 return &QPushButton::staticMetaObject;
             if ( key == "QToolButton" )
                 return &QToolButton::staticMetaObject;

             return 0;
         }
         QUuid classID( const QString &key ) const
         {
             if ( key == "QCheckBox" )
                 return "{6E795DE9-872D-43CF-A831-496EF9D86C68}";
             if ( key == "QRadioButton" )
                 return "{AFCF78C8-446C-409A-93B3-BA2959039189}";
             if ( key == "QPushButton" )
                 return "{2B262458-A4B6-468B-B7D4-CF5FEE0A7092}";
             if ( key == "QToolButton" )
                 return "{7c0ffe7a-60c3-4666-bde2-5cf2b54390a1}";

             return QUuid();
         }
         QUuid interfaceID( const QString &key ) const
         {
             if ( key == "QCheckBox" )
                 return "{4FD39DD7-2DE0-43C1-A8C2-27C51A052810}";
             if ( key == "QRadioButton" )
                 return "{7CC8AE30-206C-48A3-A009-B0A088026C2F}";
             if ( key == "QPushButton" )
                 return "{06831CC9-59B6-436A-9578-6D53E5AD03D3}";
             if ( key == "QToolButton" )
                 return "{6726080f-d63d-4950-a366-9bf33e5cdf84}";

             return QUuid();
         }
         QUuid eventsID( const QString &key ) const
         {
             if ( key == "QCheckBox" )
                 return "{FDB6FFBE-56A3-4E90-8F4D-198488418B3A}";
             if ( key == "QRadioButton" )
                 return "{73EE4860-684C-4A66-BF63-9B9EFFA0CBE5}";
             if ( key == "QPushButton" )
                 return "{3CC3F17F-EA59-4B58-BBD3-842D467131DD}";
             if ( key == "QToolButton" )
                 return "{f4d421fd-4ead-4fd9-8a25-440766939639}";

             return QUuid();
         }
     };

The factory implementation returns the list of supported controls, creates controls on request and provides information about the unique IDs of the COM classes and interfaces for each control.

     QAXFACTORY_EXPORT( ActiveQtFactory, "{3B756301-0075-4E40-8BE8-5A81DE2426B7}", "{AB068077-4924-406a-BBAF-42D91C8727DD}" )

The factory is exported using the QAXFACTORY_EXPORT macro.

To build the example you must first build the QAxServer library. Then run `qmake` and your make tool in `examples/activeqt/wrapper`.

The demonstration requires a web browser that supports ActiveX controls, and scripting to be enabled.

     <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
     Sub ToolButton_Clicked()
         RadioButton.text = InputBox( "Enter something", "Wrapper Demo" )
