This follows the Qt standard, and there is no particular reason why .qdoc files cannot live in src.

Basically anything but a select query will fail. This fixes this by making the user explicitly prepare the query if they want to, and the blame then falls on them if they try and prepare a statement likely to fail. This fix also seems to result in a speedup for single-execution queries, possibly due to reduction in roundtrip communications. All autotests pass & behaviour conforms to documentation.

+ \page activeqt-server.html
+ \title Building ActiveX servers and controls with Qt
+
+ \brief The QAxServer module is a Windows-only static library that
+ you can use to turn a standard Qt binary into a COM server.
+
+ The QAxServer module is part of the \l ActiveQt framework. It
+ consists of three classes:
+
+ \list
+ \o QAxFactory defines a factory for the creation of COM objects.
+ \o QAxBindable provides an interface between the Qt widget and the
+ COM object.
+ \o QAxAggregated can be subclassed to implement additional COM interfaces.
+ \endlist
+
+ Some \l{ActiveQt Examples}{example implementations} of ActiveX
+ controls and COM objects are provided.
+
+ \sa {ActiveQt Framework}
+
+ Topics:
+
+ \tableofcontents
+
+ \section1 Using the Library
+
+ To turn a standard Qt application into a COM server using the
+ QAxServer library you must add \c qaxserver as a CONFIG setting
+ in your \c .pro file.
+
+ An out-of-process executable server is generated from a \c .pro
+ file like this:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 0
+
+ To build an in-process server, use a \c .pro file like this:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 1
+
+ The files \c qaxserver.rc and \c qaxserver.def are part of the
+ framework and can be used from their usual location (specify a
+ path in the \c .pro file), or copied into the project directory.
+ You can modify these files as long as it includes any file as the
+ type library entry, ie. you can add version information or specify
+ a different toolbox icon.
+
+ The \c qaxserver configuration will cause the \c qmake tool to add the
+ required build steps to the build system:
+
+ \list
+ \o Link the binary against \c qaxserver.lib instead of \c qtmain.lib
+ \o Call the \l idc tool to generate an IDL file for the COM server
+ \o Compile the IDL into a type library using the MIDL tool (part of the
+ compiler installation)
+ \o Attach the resulting type library as a binary resource to the server
+ binary (again using the \l idc tool)
+ \o Register the server
+ \endlist
+
+ Note that the QAxServer build system is not supported on Windows 98/ME
+ (attaching of resources to a binary is not possible there), but a server
+ built on Windows NT/2000/XP will work on previous Windows versions as well.
+
+ To skip the post-processing step, also set the \c qaxserver_no_postlink
+ configuration.
+
+ Additionally you can specify a version number using the \c VERSION
+ variable, e.g.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 2
+
+ The version number specified will be used as the version of the type
+ library and of the server when registering.
+
+ \section2 Out-of-Process vs. In-Process
+
+ Whether your COM server should run as a stand-alone executable
+ or as a shared library in the client process depends mainly on the
+ type of COM objects you want to provide in the server.
+
+ An executable server has the advantage of being able to run as a
+ stand-alone application, but adds considerable overhead to the
+ communication between the COM client and the COM object. If the
+ control has a programming error only the server process running
+ the control will crash, and the client application will probably
+ continue to run. Not all COM clients support executable servers.
+
+ An in-process server is usually smaller and has faster startup
+ time. The communication between client and server is done directly
+ through virtual function calls and does not introduce the overhead
+ required for remote procedure calls. However, if the server crashes the
+ client application is likely to crash as well, and not every
+ functionality is available for in-process servers (i.e. register in
+ the COM's running-object-table).
+
+ Both server types can use Qt either as a shared library, or statically
+ linked into the server binary.
+
+ \section2 Typical Errors During the Post-Build Steps
+
+ For the ActiveQt specific post-processing steps to work the
+ server has to meet some requirements:
+
+ \list
+ \o All controls exposed can be created with nothing but a QApplication
+ instance being present
+ \o The initial linking of the server includes a temporary type
+ library resource
+ \o All dependencies required to run the server are in the system path
+ (or in the path used by the calling environment; note that Visual
+ Studio has its own set of environment variables listed in the
+ Tools|Options|Directories dialog).
+ \endlist
+
+ If those requirements are not met one ore more of the following
+ errors are likely to occur:
+
+ \section3 The Server Executable Crashes
+
+ To generate the IDL the widgets exposed as ActiveX controls need to
+ be instantiated (the constructor is called). At this point, nothing
+ else but a QApplication object exists. Your widget constructor must
+ not rely on any other objects to be created, e.g. it should check for
+ null-pointers.
+
+ To debug your server run it with -dumpidl outputfile and check where
+ it crashes.
+
+ Note that no functions of the control are called.
+
+ \section3 The Server Executable Is Not a Valid Win32 Application
+
+ Attaching the type library corrupted the server binary. This is a
+ bug in Windows and happens only with release builds.
+
+ The first linking step has to link a dummy type library into the
+ executable that can later be replaced by idc. Add a resource file
+ with a type library to your project as demonstrated in the examples.
+
+ \section3 "Unable to locate DLL"
+
+ The build system needs to run the server executable to generate
+ the interface definition, and to register the server. If a dynamic
+ link library the server links against is not in the path this
+ might fail (e.g. Visual Studio calls the server using the
+ enivronment settings specified in the "Directories" option). Make
+ sure that all DLLs required by your server are located in a
+ directory that is listed in the path as printed in the error
+ message box.
+
+ \section3 "Cannot open file ..."
+
+ The ActiveX server could not shut down properly when the last
+ client stopped using it. It usually takes about two seconds for
+ the application to terminate, but you might have to use the task
+ manager to kill the process (e.g. when a client doesn't release
+ the controls properly).
+
+ \section1 Implementing Controls
+
+ To implement a COM object with Qt, create a subclass of QObject
+ or any existing QObject subclass. If the class is a subclass of QWidget,
+ the COM object will be an ActiveX control.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 3
+
+ The Q_OBJECT macro is required to provide the meta object information
+ about the widget to the ActiveQt framework.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 4
+
+ Use the Q_CLASSINFO() macro to specify the COM identifiers for the COM
+ object. \c ClassID and \c InterfaceID are required, while \c EventsID is
+ only necessary when your object has signals. To generate these identifiers,
+ use system tools like \c uuidgen or \c guidgen.
+
+ You can specify additional attributes for each of your classes; see
+ \l{Class Information and Tuning} for details.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 5
+
+ Use the Q_PROPERTY() macro to declare properties for the ActiveX control.
+
+ Declare a standard constructor taking a parent object, and functions,
+ signals and slots like for any QObject subclass.
+ \footnote
+ If a standard constructor is not present the compiler will issue
+ an error "no overloaded function takes 2 parameters" when using
+ the default factory through the QAXFACTORY_DEFAULT() macro. If you
+ cannot provide a standard constructor you must implement a
+ QAxFactory custom factory and call the constructor you have in
+ your implementation of QAxFactory::create.
+ \endfootnote
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 6
+
+ The ActiveQt framework will expose properties and public slots as ActiveX
+ properties and methods, and signals as ActiveX events, and convert between
+ the Qt data types and the equivalent COM data types.
+
+ \section2 Data Types
+
+ The Qt data types that are supported for properties are:
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \o Qt data type
+ \o COM property
+ \row
+ \o bool
+ \o VARIANT_BOOL
+ \row
+ \o QString
+ \o BSTR
+ \row
+ \o int
+ \o int
+ \row
+ \o uint
+ \o unsigned int
+ \row
+ \o double
+ \o double
+ \row
+ \o \l qlonglong
+ \o CY
+ \row
+ \o \l qulonglong
+ \o CY
+ \row
+ \o QColor
+ \o OLE_COLOR
+ \row
+ \o QDate
+ \o DATE
+ \row
+ \o QDateTime
+ \o DATE
+ \row
+ \o QTime
+ \o DATE
+ \row
+ \o QFont
+ \o IFontDisp*
+ \row
+ \o QPixmap
+ \o IPictureDisp*
+ \footnote

+
+ Properties and signals/slots that have parameters using any other

+
+ \section2 Sub-Objects
+
+ COM objects can have multiple sub-objects that can represent a sub element
+ of the COM object. A COM object representing a multi-document spread sheet
+ application can for example provide one sub-object for each spread sheet.
+
+ Any QObject subclass can be used as the type for a sub object in ActiveX, as
+ long as it is known to the QAxFactory. Then the type can be used in properties,
+ or as the return type or paramter of a slot.
+
+ \section2 Property Notification
+
+ To make the properties bindable for the ActiveX client, use multiple
+ inheritance from the QAxBindable class:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 7
+
+ When implementing the property write functions, use the
+ QAxBindable class's requestPropertyChange() and propertyChanged()
+ functions to allow ActiveX clients to bind to the control
+ properties.
+ \footnote
+ This is not required, but gives the client more control over
+ the ActiveX control.
+ \endfootnote
+
+ \section1 Serving Controls
+
+ To make a COM server available to the COM system it must be registered
+ in the system registry using five unique identifiers.
+ These identifiers are provided by tools like \c guidgen or \c uuidgen.
+ The registration information allows COM to localize the binary providing
+ a requested ActiveX control, marshall remote procedure calls to the
+ control and read type information about the methods and properties exposed
+ by the control.
+
+ To create the COM object when the client asks for it the server must export
+ an implementation of a QAxFactory. The easist way to do this is to use a set
+ of macros:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 8
+
+ This will export \c MyWidget and \c MyWidget2 as COM objects that can be
+ created by COM clients, and will register \c MySubType as a type that can
+ be used in properties and parameters of \c MyWidget and \c MyWidget2.
+
+ The \link QAxFactory QAxFactory class documentation \endlink explains
+ how to use this macro, and how to implement and use custom factories.
+
+ For out-of-process executable servers you can implement a main()
+ function to instantiate a QApplication object and enter the event
+ loop just like any normal Qt application. By default the
+ application will start as a standard Qt application, but if you
+ pass \c -activex on the command line it will start as an ActiveX
+ server. Use QAxFactory::isServer() to create and run a standard
+ application interface, or to prevent a stand-alone execution:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 9
+
+ This is however not necessary as ActiveQt provides a default implementation
+ of a main function. The default implemenation calls QAxFactory::startServer(),
+ creates a QApplication instance and calls exec().
+
+ To build the ActiveX server executable run \c qmake
+ to generate the makefile, and use your compiler's
+ make tool as for any other Qt application. The make process will
+ also register the controls in the system registry by calling the
+ resulting executable with the \c -regserver command line option.
+
+ If the ActiveX server is an executable, the following command line
+ options are supported:
+ \table
+ \header \o Option \o Result
+ \row \o \c -regserver \o Registers the server in the system registry
+ \row \o \c -unregserver \o Unregisters the server from the system registry
+ \row \o \c -activex \o Starts the application as an ActiveX server
+ \row \o \c{-dumpidl <file> -version x.y} \o Writes the server's IDL to the
+ specified file. The type library will have version x.y
+ \endtable
+
+ In-process servers can be registered using the \c regsvr32 tool available
+ on all Windows systems.
+
+ \section2 Typical Compile-Time Problems
+
+ The compiler/linker errors listed are based on those issued by the
+ Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler.
+
+ \section3 "No overloaded function takes 2 parameters"
+
+ When the error occurs in code that uses the QAXFACTORY_DEFAULT()
+ macro, the widget class had no constructor that can be used by the
+ default factory. Either add a standard widget constructor or
+ implement a custom factory that doesn't require one.
+
+ When the error occurs in code that uses the QAXFACTORY_EXPORT()
+ macro, the QAxFactory subclass had no appropriate constructor.
+ Provide a public class constructor like
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 10
+
+ for your factory class.
+
+ \section3 "Syntax error: bad suffix on number"
+
+ The unique identifiers have not been passed as strings into the
+ QAXFACTORY_EXPORT() or QAXFACTORY_DEFAULT() macro.
+
+ \section3 "Unresolved external symbol _ucm_instantiate"
+
+ The server does not export an implementation of a QAxFactory. Use
+ the QAXFACTORY_EXPORT() macro in one of the project's
+ implementation files to instantiate and export a factory, or use
+ the QAXFACTORY_DEFAULT() macro to use the default factory.
+
+ \section3 "_ucm_initialize already defined in ..."
+
+ The server exports more than one implementation of a QAxFactory,
+ or exports the same implementation twice. If you use the default
+ factory, the QAXFACTORY_DEFAULT() macro must only be used once in
+ the project. Use a custom QAxFactory implementation and the
+ QAXFACTORY_EXPORT() macro if the server provides multiple ActiveX
+ controls.
+
+ \section2 Distributing QAxServer Binaries
+
+ ActiveX servers written with Qt can use Qt either as a shared
+ library, or have Qt linked statically into the binary. Both ways
+ will produce rather large packages (either the server binary
+ itself becomes large, or you have to ship the Qt DLL).
+
+ \section3 Installing Stand-Alone Servers
+
+ When your ActiveX server can also run as a stand-alone application,
+ run the server executable with the \c -regserver command line
+ parameter after installing the executable on the target system.
+ After that the controls provided by the server will be available to
+ ActiveX clients.
+
+ \section3 Installing In-Process Servers
+
+ When your ActiveX server is part of an installation package, use the
+ \c regsvr32 tool provided by Microsoft to register the controls on
+ the target system. If this tool is not present, load the DLL into
+ your installer process, resolve the \c DllRegisterServer symbol and
+ call the function:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 11
+
+ \section3 Distributing Servers over the Internet
+
+ If you want to use controls in your server in web-pages you need to
+ make the server available to the browser used to view your page, and
+ you need to specify the location of the server package in your page.
+
+ To specify the location of a server, use the CODEBASE attribute in
+ the OBJECT tag of your web-site. The value can point to the server
+ file itself, to an INF file listing other files the server requires
+ (e.g. the Qt DLL), or a compressed CAB archive.
+
+ INF and CAB files are documented in almost every book available about
+ ActiveX and COM programming as well as in the MSDN library and various
+ other Online resources. The examples include INF files that can be used
+ to build CAB archives:
+
+ \snippet examples/activeqt/simple/simple.inf 0
+
+ The CABARC tool from Microsoft can easily generate CAB archives:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 12
+
+ The INF files assume a static build of Qt, so no dependencies to other DLLs
+ are listed in the INF files. To distribute an ActiveX server depending on
+ DLLs you must add the dependencies, and provide the library files
+ with the archive.
+
+ \section1 Using the Controls
+
+ To use the ActiveX controls, e.g. to embed them in a web page, use
+ the \c <object> HTML tag.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 13
+
+ To initialize the control's properties, use
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 14
+
+ If the web browser supports scripting use JavaScript, VBScript
+ and forms to script the control. The
+ \l{ActiveQt Examples} include demonstration HTML pages for the example
+ controls.
+
+ \section2 Supported and Unsupported ActiveX Clients
+
+ The following is largly based on our own experiements with ActiveX
+ controls and client applications, and is by no means complete.
+
+ \section3 Supported Clients
+
+ These standard applications work with ActiveX controls developed with
+ ActiveQt. Note that some clients support only in-process controls.
+
+ \list
+ \o Internet Explorer
+ \o Microsoft ActiveX Control Test Container
+ \o Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0
+ \o Microsoft Visual Studio.NET/2003
+ \o Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
+ \o MFC- and ATL-based containers
+ \o Sybase PowerBuilder
+ \o ActiveQt based containers
+ \endlist
+
+ Microsoft Office applications are supported, but you need to register
+ the controls as "Insertable" objects. Reimplement QAxFactory::registerClass
+ to add this attribute to the COM class, or set the "Insertable" class info
+ for your class to "yes" using the Q_CLASSINFO macro.
+
+ \section3 Unsupported Clients
+
+ We have not managed to make ActiveQt based COM objects work with the
+ following client applications.
+
+ \list
+ \o Borland C++ Builder (Versions 5 and 6)
+ \o Borland Delphi
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Typical Runtime Errors
+
+ \section3 The Server Does Not Respond
+
+ If the system is unable to start the server (check with the task
+ manager whether the server runs a process), make sure that no DLL
+ the server depends on is missing from the system path (e.g. the Qt
+ DLL!). Use a dependency walker to view all dependencies of the server
+ binary.
+
+ If the server runs (e.g. the task manager lists a process), see
+ the following section for information on debugging your server.
+
+ \section3 The Object Cannot Be Created
+
+ If the server could be built and registered correctly during the build
+ process, but the object cannot be initiliazed e.g. by the OLE/COM Object
+ Viewer application, make sure that no DLL the server depends on is
+ missing from the system path (e.g. the Qt DLL). Use a dependency walker
+ to view all dependencies of the server binary.
+
+ If the server runs, see the following section for information on
+ debugging your server.
+
+ \section2 Debugging Runtime Errors
+
+ To debug an in-process server in Visual Studio, set the server project
+ as the active project, and specify a client "executable for debug
+ session" in the project settings (e.g. use the ActiveX Test Container).
+ You can set breakpoints in your code, and also step into ActiveQt and
+ Qt code if you installed the debug version.
+
+ To debug an executable server, run the application in a debugger
+ and start with the command line parameter \c -activex. Then start
+ your client and create an instance of your ActiveX control. COM
+ will use the existing process for the next client trying to create
+ an ActiveX control.
+
+ \section1 Class Information and Tuning
+
+ To provide attributes for each COM class, use the Q_CLASSINFO macro, which is part of
+ Qt's meta object system.
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \o Key
+ \o Meaning of value
+ \row
+ \o Version
+ \o The version of the class (1.0 is default)
+ \row
+ \o Description
+ \o A string describing the class.
+ \row
+ \o ClassID
+ \o The class ID.
+ You must reimplement QAxFactory::classID if not specified.
+ \row
+ \o InterfaceID
+ \o The interface ID.
+ You must reimplement QAxFactory::interfaceID if not specified.
+ \row
+ \o EventsID
+ \o The event interface ID.
+ No signals are exposed as COM events if not specified.
+ \row
+ \o DefaultProperty
+ \o The property specified represents the default property of this class.
+ Ie. the default property of a push button would be "text".
+ \row
+ \o DefaultSignal
+ \o The signal specified respresents the default signal of this class.
+ Ie. the default signal of a push button would be "clicked".
+ \row
+ \o LicenseKey
+ \o Object creation requires the specified license key. The key can be
+ empty to require a licensed machine. By default classes are not
+ licensed. Also see the following section.
+ \row
+ \o StockEvents
+ \o Objects expose stock events if value is "yes".
+ See \l QAxFactory::hasStockEvents()
+ \row
+ \o ToSuperClass
+ \o Objects expose functionality of all super-classes up to and
+ including the class name in value.
+ See \l QAxFactory::exposeToSuperClass()
+ \row
+ \o Insertable
+ \o If the value is "yes" the class is registered to be "Insertable"
+ and will be listed in OLE 2 containers (ie. Microsoft Office). This
+ attribute is not be set by default.
+ \row
+ \o Aggregatable
+ \o If the value is "no" the class does not support aggregation. By
+ default aggregation is supported.
+ \row
+ \o Creatable
+ \o If the value is "no" the class cannot be created by the client,
+ and is only available through the API of another class (ie. the
+ class is a sub-type).
+ \row
+ \o RegisterObject
+ \o If the value is "yes" objects of this class are registered with
+ OLE and accessible from the running object table (ie. clients
+ can connect to an already running instance of this class). This
+ attribute is only supported in out-of-process servers.
+ \row
+ \o MIME
+ \o The object can handle data and files of the format specified in the
+ value. The value has the format mime:extension:description. Multiple
+ formats are separated by a semicolon.
+ \row
+ \o CoClassAlias
+ \o The classname used in the generated IDL and in the registry. This is
+ esp. useful for C++ classes that live in a namespace - by default,
+ ActiveQt just removes the "::" to make the IDL compile.
+ \endtable
+
+ Note that both keys and values are case sensitive.
+
+ The following declares version 2.0 of a class that exposes only its
+ own API, and is available in the "Insert Objects" dialog of Microsoft
+ Office applications.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 15
+
+ \section2 Developing Licensed Components
+
+ If you develop components you might want to control who is able to instantiate
+ those components. Since the server binary can be shipped to and registered on
+ any client machine it is possible for anybody to use those components in his
+ own software.
+
+ Licensing components can be done using a variety of techniques, e.g. the code
+ creating the control can provide a license key, or the machine on which the
+ control is supposed to run needs to be licensed.
+
+ To mark a Qt class as licensed specify a "LicenseKey" using the
+ Q_CLASSINFO() macro.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 16
+
+ The key is required to be able to create an instance of \c MyLicensedControl
+ on a machine that is not licensed itself. The licensed developer can now
+ redistributes the server binary with his application, which creates the control
+ using the value of "LicenseKey", while users of the application cannot create
+ the control without the license key.
+
+ If a single license key for the control is not sufficient (ie. you want
+ differnet developers to receive different license keys) you can specify an
+ empty key to indicate that the control requires a license, and reimplement
+ \l QAxFactory::validateLicenseKey() to verify that a license exists on the
+ system (ie. through a license file).
+
+ \section2 More Interfaces
+
+ ActiveX controls provided by ActiveQt servers support a minimal set of COM
+ interfaces to implement the OLE specifications. When the ActiveX class inherits
+ from the QAxBindable class it can also implement additional COM interfaces.
+
+ Create a new subclass of QAxAggregated and use multiple inheritance
+ to subclass additional COM interface classes.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 17
+
+ Reimplement the QAxAggregated::queryInterface() function to
+ support the additional COM interfaces.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 18
+
+ Since \c ISomeCOMInterface is a subclass of \c IUnknown you will
+ have to implement the \c QueryInterface(), \c AddRef(), and \c
+ Release() functions. Use the QAXAGG_IUNKNOWN macro in your
+ class definition to do that. If you implement the \c IUnknown
+ functions manually, delegate the calls to the interface pointer
+ returned by the QAxAggregated::controllingUnknown() function,
+ e.g.
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qaxserver.qdoc 19
+
+ Do not support the \c IUnknown interface itself in your
+ \l{QAxAggregated::queryInterface()}{queryInterface()}
+ implementation.
+
+ Implement the methods of the COM interfaces, and use QAxAggregated::object()
+ if you need to make calls to the QObject subclass implementing the control.
+
+ In your QAxBindable subclass, implement
+ QAxBindable::createAggregate() to return a new object of the
+ QAxAggregated subclass.
+
