Using OLE Controls in Oracle Forms 6

Env: Oracle 8xi, Forms 6, Attachmate Infoconnect OCX, Windows 2000

Hey All,

        I am looking for general information on using Oracle Forms PL*SQL Library
for OLE2 to access and utilize a 3rd party Ole Control. I have a short-term
gig doing this and with the exception of how to utilize the properties and
methods of a 3rd Party OCX, I am a fish out of water when it comes to Oracle
development. I can embedded and utilize the control in VB and VC++ with no
problems but I need some help on how to embedded an OCX into an Oracle Form
and instantiate and use it through PL*SQL and Oracles OLE2 Libraries. There
is no documentation on how to do this with Oracle from Attachmate. According
to Oracles marketing you can use a 32 bit OCX in an Oracle form. I just need
a little help on how to do it.Any code snippets or advice as to where to
look would be helpful.

        Additionally, I am looking for anyone who has specific experience in using
Attachemate's Infoconnect OCX. Any info you could share would be
appreciated. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Vince
