Thank you Chris! I'll have a look at the older stable one. For now, I'm
just doing a proof of concept for the front end of things, so I may not
need any code updates to the ActiveX control for Sword. Although there
may be some Visual Studio folks out there who might be interested in
that control.
I appreciate the pointer. I'll check it out!
God Bless <><

There's an ActiveX control for Sword, but it is extremely old and is
now unsupported. Still, if you think you really want to use this
approach, it would not be very hard to update the control to handle
all of Sword's recent feature additions.
The control is available at
ftp://ftp.crosswire.org/pub/sword/frontend/diatheke/. It is called
ActiveDiatheke. The newer of those two files is buggy, I am told, but
it has more features than the older, stable one. The source code in
SVN is probably even more complete.

Has anyone attempted to create a Sword application using Visual
Basic? Or at least, does anyone know how one might do so? I would
like to set references to the Sword API and use VB to create a front
end. In the end, I'm mostly interested in bridging the cap between
the Sword API and Mozilla's Gecko engine. They have an easy to use
ActiveX control I can use in VB. This is the only reason I would even
imagine doing a Sword front end in VB. I plan to eventually migrate
to using Java as an XPCOM bridge between the Sword API (actually
JSword) and Mozilla's Gecko engine. This would allow me to make the
front end cross platform. But I want to create a proof of concept
using VB first. Any help is appreciated.
