Application-Integration with OLE

Hallo together,

im still using CTD 2.0 and have to integrate an application (ELOoffice),
which supports an ole interface, as per software producer. I have an manual
with visual basic examples, which I tested and works fine.

Now I wanted to integrate the interface with ActiveX, but there is no entry
in the ActiveX Explorer and after web searching, I got the information that
ELO don't supports an ActiveX interface. And now there is the moment I need
help.

How can I integrate an OLE interface without ActiveX???

Here are a Visual Basic example which works.

Set ELO = CreateObject("Elo.office")

MsgBox "Elo Version = " & Elo.Version

In the manual are much more functions I need and as per manual it looks easy
to use in visual basic :-(.

Must I clone these functions in CTD, like my example?

Call l_oELO.cfVersion ( l_nVersion )
! Don't Work

OLE is very old technology and IIRC, is not supported begining around V3.0
