Hello,
is there any way how to remotely use fasthenry? My idea is there will be .Zip file where will be main program and fasthenry and fasthenry will be "invisible for user". But i want to do this without installing. Help says that fasthenry2.document will be create after installation or start of the program but i think that path where FastHenry is wont be created. So i dont see any possible way in this. I guess that my main program can change registers but i would prefer not to do that.
My second option was to get command line version of fastherny. I have seen that LayoutEditor has one but i don't know what their license is at it. I have spent all day trying to compile my own using mingw but without luck (error instructions while processing make.COM). So i do not know what to really do.
Thank you for answer
Regards
Petr |

FastHenry2 control from another application uses Automation technology from MicroSoft. This usually requires that both the client and the server (in this case FastHenry2) reside on the same physical machine. MicroSoft also extended the concept also to a remote machine, but the interface requires some entries in the Registry of both machines; I understand this is not what you are looking for.
If you want to expose properties and methods of FastHenry in another way, yes the way to go is to modify the sources. Please visit our download section again, as we recently updated the source code to be compatible with the Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, that for open source projects is free (check the detailed conditions on the MS web site), and it compiles with no warnings, for both 64 bits and 32 bits machines. You will find also some instructions for compilation there. If you don't want FastHenry2 to use the Registry at all, you can modify the code to skip any usage of the Registry and remove / comment out the Automation part.
As a final note, please be aware that you can directly fork the project FastHenry2 on GitHub (where it is now hosted), if you want, so you can share your modifications and track them.
Best Regards,
Enrico
