I am trying to port over customization we had in XMetal to Oxygen, would like suggests on how to tap into ActiveXObject functionality in Oxygen. I have tried the JSOperation Author Actions with no success, I get a ReferenceError for ActiveXObject. How else can this be implemented?

Hi,
As Oxygen is a Java application calling ActiveX components from Oxygen's code is not supported.
What did that previously implemented ActiveX object do?

Hi Radu,
The previous implementation with an ActiveXObject, presented a user with a dialog with fields to enter a number and two set of units, one which applied to the number entered and one which was calculated. Units where volume, temperature, weight etc. Guess I will need to rewrite it in Java.
Thanks,

Hi Akheil,
Yes. For example you can implement your own Java-based Author operation which uses the Java Swing architecture to show a dialog and use it later from an Author action:
