I just went to look at "Porting to Mac OS X from Winodws Win32 API"
<
http://developer.appe.com/macosx/win32porting/>
because I thought I find some mention of COM or DCOM or ActiveX controls.
I didn't find any.
Curious. How can a discussion about porting any Win32 piece of code to OS X
without mentioning components and ActiveX?
Even Microsoft is not talking openly about their lack of future support for
OLE/DCOM/ActiveX (or whatever they call it now); it's all .Net.
Everybody seems
like they are running around waving their arms about nothign but .Net.
This seems like a tremendous opportunity for Apple if it could capture the
hearts/minds of Windows developers, many of whom rely upon features provided
by ActiveX.
Possible replacements mentioned so far:
- Distributed Objects (DO) in Cocoa
- AppleScript (everywhere)
- EJB (Java)
But to not even address ActiveX controls seems like there are
absolutely no facilities
to do what COM and ActiveX provide.
