64 bit version

Hello,

Will there be a 64 bit version of the ActiveX version somewhere in the future?
And if not, does anybody have any experience with integrating the 32 bit version into a 64 bit executable?

Thanks in advance!

Hi ava,

I'm afraid there isn't any 64 bit AX version actually. As you probably know, we produce AX version from the VCL one and, at this moment, Borland doesn't have 64 bit compilers. So, now it's impossible for us to create this version.

So, as we don't have a 64 bit AX version, you should activate 32 bit mode in your IDE or use 32 bit IDEs (like Visual Basic 6) to be able to compile a project that contains an AX component. And then, I'm afraid you wont be able to use 64 bit components.

Does that mean that when Borland releases a 64 bit VLC (hopefully in winter 2008), we can expect a 64 bit AX version soon after that?

Hi ava,

When a compiler is available it would be used to build the versions.
