Our Java Beans do not work correctly if they are packed with
ActiveX-Packager.

We created swing based beans with JDK 1.3 and packed them with the Sun
ActiveX-Packager.
Then we build ActiveX controls from the typelibraries with MSVC++ 6.0.
Testing the controls in a MSVC++ MDI application the controls show some
strange behavior.

Test case

1) unjar LoosingFocus.jar

2) cd LostFocus\activeX

4) Modify LFRoot.reg this way:
      - change the paths to beans.ocx to the location where
        JRE is installed
      - change the paths of loosingfocus.jar and LFRoot.tlb to
the location where you unjared them to.

5) Run:
         regedit LFRoot.reg
   
   to register ActiveX control.

This will give a message that it has been registered.

cd LostFocus\cpp\LoosingFocus\Debug

run the exe

LoosingFocus.exe

This will take about two minutes to come up. You will see a window containing the java widow (Loosin1).

Description:
To run into dead lock create a second MDI
Window. To do so select "Neu" from the "Datei" menu and right click on
the first MDI's "Right click here..." area to show the popup menu. The
LoosingFocus.exe will hang.

Remarks:
The dead lock occures if you try to show a JPopupMenu while a time
consuming creation of a bridged bean is done.
