TCLBridge Description:

TCLBridge is a powerful component designed to allow seamless integration of Tcl/Tk and any ActiveX capable language (such as Visual Basic 6). This component is fully multi-threaded and thread-safe (each interpreter has it's own thread). Additionally, full Tcl/Tk stubs support has been added (build 5000+). This component should work with any version of Tcl/Tk 8.3.2 or higher (including TclPro 1.4.1 or higher). Multiple Tcl interpreters can be easily created, used, and destroyed. In addition, there is a simple yet powerful facility that allows Tcl to invoke YOUR custom ActiveX components. You simply specify the Tcl command name to add, the instance or progID of the COM object to call, the method name to call, and the "clientData" (or cookie) you want to receive when called by the specified Tcl interpreter. In short, Tcl commands are transparently mapped to COM method calls that you control in a fully reentrant, thread-safe manner. Command arguments are handled automatically either as one long string or as separate strings (can be toggled dynamically). Please see the official web site for more information and complete documentation. Also includes the following:




** Full Tk support.




** Stable asynchronous evaluation.




** Special debugging support, such as the ability to use multiple debuggers at once, such as Visual Basic and TclPro (a very powerful combination) and other diagnostic functionality.




** TCL2COM, which allows Tcl scripts to utilize any ActiveX object that supports automation using TCLBridge.




** TCL2ASP, a prototype component which allows easy integration with Microsoft IIS using TCLBridge.




** VBS2TCL, a prototype component which allows easy integration with Microsoft VBScript. Due to the limitations of Microsoft VBScript (MSKB Q197957), TCLBridge does not work with Microsoft VBScript without VBS2TCL.
