Question OCX 32-bit in OE 12 64-bit

[philippoommen1]

Hi,
Our application is currently in Version 11.7 32 bits with App Builder. Now migrating our program from version 11.7 to 12.8 64-bit. Issue is with the 32-bit OCX. Most of the OCX providers are not available now, and some are custom-made as well.
Are there any .NET wrappers to keep the same 32-bit OCX and use in OE 12.8 64-bit?
Thanks
-Philip-

You can still get 32bit runtimes in OE12.

Had the exact same problem a few years back when moving to 64-bit Progress where the 32-bit OCX components would not work. At the time there seemed no solution and either had to obtain a 64-bit version of the OCX component or switch to a .NET component instead as outlined in the following articles:

James' solution of a 32-bit runtime seems to be your only option.

Thank you.
I have installed a 64-bit 12.8 OE environment, and the DB is up and running. Now my question is, is there any easy way to compile the source code in 32-bit, instead of installing and setting up the 32-bit environment? I mean utilities like (OpenEdge\bin\117dbutils\117_dbutil proutil). Thanks

You can download the Development Server (or at least, used to be able to) which allows compilation on other platforms. That does not include the previous version tools, to the best of my recollection.
