Packager creates ActiveX-Control. Is there another option?
Now I've got it with that packager (it wasn't easy). But I have another question: Is it solely possible to create a control? I don't want a control because I don't need a GUI. And because I don't want to use a form in my VB project I don't have a control. Is it possible to create a simple COM-Objec that I can access under VB as a "reference"?
Does anyone know that and can help me?
Regards,
Robert

Hi,
If you don't want to register your java class as a full blown visual VB component have a look at the Microsoft JavaReg program. It's the MS equivalent of the Sun bean packager.
Unlike the Sun packager however, it allows you to register *ANY* java class and access it from your Microsoft freindly platform.
There's a good article about it by javaworld at:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-1998/jw-09-bridge_p.html
At the bottom of the page there's a load of links to JavaReg and all the other resources you'll need.
