I know literally nothing about smart objects, and i would like to get a good understanding with them and learn how to use them in development.

So what im asking is could someone pointment to some good tutorials and explainations of smart objects, along with their pros and cons of them.

Becaue most of the time im using ocx's on things i could use nice smart objects with.

Which is better ocx's or Smart objects or are they even nothing a like?
 
SmartObjects are part of the ADM or ADM2 Framework. They aren't useful unless you plan on using one of those Frameworks . They have extra code that permit you to link them directly to the DB and let them do part of the work.

If you want to learn about it , then you should read the book OpenEdge Development: ADM and SmartObjects .
 
Apples and Oranges

Greetings,Which weighs more 5 apples or 5 oranges?You can NOT ask that question they are NOT the same, it is an improper fraction. Similar to comparing OCX with Smart Objects.OCX is a 3rd party control with it's own methods/attributes.Smart Objects use the ADM2 (V9+) framework. And is a method of constructing applications. Smart Objects CAN utilize OCX's so you are NOT comparing like for like.
