You can use Jacob library (by Dan Adler, http://danadler.com/jacob/).
Example:
import com.jacob.com.*; import com.jacob.activeX.*; class QuickStart { private static Dispatch form = null; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { ComThread.InitMTA(); //ComThread.InitSTA(); ActiveXComponent ax = new ActiveXComponent("Scripting.WindowSystemObject"); Dispatch wso = (Dispatch)ax.getObject(); try { Dispatch.put(wso,"EnableVisualStyles",true); form = Dispatch.call(wso, "CreateForm", new Variant(0), new Variant(0), new Variant(0), new Variant(0)).toDispatch(); Dispatch.call(form,"CenterControl"); Dispatch.put(form,"ClientWidth",150); Dispatch.put(form,"ClientHeight",100); Dispatch button = Dispatch.call(form,"CreateButton",new Variant(10), new Variant(10),new Variant(75),new Variant(25),new Variant("Close")).toDispatch(); new DispatchEvents(button, new ButtonEvents()); Dispatch.call(form,"Show"); Dispatch.call(wso,"Run"); } finally { ComThread.Release(); }; }; public static class ButtonEvents { public void OnClick(Variant[] args) { Dispatch Sender = args[0].toDispatch(); Dispatch.call(form,"Close"); }; }; };
ActiveXComponent ax = new ActiveXComponent("Scripting.WindowSystemObject");
Next we need to create a form and controls.
We use Show method to show the form.
The Run method starts message loop.
