Installation and usage of ActiveX edition

ActiveX edition of MsgConnect is shipped in precompiled binary code. ActiveX edition can be used in Windows 32 (Windows 9x/ME, Windows NT/2000/XP).

ActiveX edition is located in "<MsgConnect>\Code\ActiveX" folder. It includes core files, sample applications and MCDataTree, hierarchical storage for information that can be used to pack and transfer data across different platforms.

Precompiled ActiveX file is located in "<MsgConnect>\Code\ActiveX\Bin" folder. This control is registered during installation. To manually register the control on the target computer you need to run "regsvr32 MsgConnect.ocx" from command line or Run command in Start menu.

Installation of ActiveX control into the development tool is different for each tool:

• For Visual Basic 6 you need to use "Project->Components" menu command, then select MsgConnect component from the list.
• In Visual Studio.NET you need to customize Toolbox. To do this use "Tools->Customize toolbox" menu command. Then activate "COM Components" page. If MsgConnect is not present in the list already, click "Browse..." button, select MsgConnect.ocx file and click Ok. The components will be added to the list automatically.
• In Borland Delphi and C++Builder you need to use "Component->Import ActiveX control" menu command.

To use ActiveX edition of MsgConnect you need to use the license key. If you don't have a commercial license, you can use the following evaluation code:
"4800000040000000BD90533E6B981216D403BFEF35863B5B
31F96217AE6EBE28D5426665899E9B5A9F39BCDAFE187E4E
2D069C82C416FDBA9F39BCDAFE187E4E2D069C82C416FDBA" (quotes are NOT part of the key)
The code is wrapped for better readability, however it should be passed as one line of text, without line breaks and spaces.
Use IMCXMessenger.SetLicenseKey method to set the license key. Please see sample project for details.

Limitations of evaluation version

Evaluation version sends messages with 0.5 sec delay. In other words, one can't send more than 2 messages per second with evaluation version. No other limitations are set.
