The Multiple example demonstrates the implementation of a QAxFactory to provide multiple ActiveX controls in a single in process ActiveX server using the `QAXFACTORY_EXPORT()` macro. The ActiveX controls in this example are simple QWidget subclasses that reimplement QWidget::paintEvent().

     class QAxWidget1 : public QWidget
     {
         Q_OBJECT
         Q_CLASSINFO("ClassID", "{1D9928BD-4453-4bdd-903D-E525ED17FDE5}")
         Q_CLASSINFO("InterfaceID", "{99F6860E-2C5A-42ec-87F2-43396F4BE389}")
         Q_CLASSINFO("EventsID", "{0A3E9F27-E4F1-45bb-9E47-63099BCCD0E3}")

         Q_PROPERTY(QColor fillColor READ fillColor WRITE setFillColor)
     public:
         QAxWidget1(QWidget *parent = 0)
             : QWidget(parent), fill_color(Qt::red)
         {
         }

         QColor fillColor() const
         {
             return fill_color;
         }
         void setFillColor(const QColor &fc)
         {
             fill_color = fc;
             repaint();
         }

     protected:
         void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *e)
         {
             QPainter paint(this);
             QRect r = rect();
             r.adjust(10, 10, -10, -10);
             paint.fillRect(r, fill_color);
         }

     private:
         QColor fill_color;
     };

The first control draws a filled rectangle. The fill color is exposed as a property. `Q_CLASSINFO()` is used to specify the COM identifiers.

     class QAxWidget2 : public QWidget
     {
         Q_OBJECT
         Q_CLASSINFO("ClassID", "{58139D56-6BE9-4b17-937D-1B1EDEDD5B71}")
         Q_CLASSINFO("InterfaceID", "{B66280AB-08CC-4dcc-924F-58E6D7975B7D}")
         Q_CLASSINFO("EventsID", "{D72BACBA-03C4-4480-B4BB-DE4FE3AA14A0}")
         Q_CLASSINFO("ToSuperClass", "QAxWidget2")
         Q_CLASSINFO("StockEvents", "yes")
         Q_CLASSINFO("Insertable", "yes")

         Q_PROPERTY( int lineWidth READ lineWidth WRITE setLineWidth )
     public:
         QAxWidget2(QWidget *parent = 0)
             : QWidget(parent), line_width( 1 )
         {
         }

         int lineWidth() const
         {
             return line_width;
         }
         void setLineWidth( int lw )
         {
             line_width = lw;
             repaint();
         }

     protected:
         void paintEvent( QPaintEvent *e )
         {
             QPainter paint( this );
             QPen pen = paint.pen();
             pen.setWidth( line_width );
             paint.setPen( pen );

             QRect r = rect();
             r.adjust( 10, 10, -10, -10 );
             paint.drawEllipse( r );
         }

     private:
         int line_width;
     };

The second control draws a circle. The linewith is exposed as a property. `Q_CLASSINFO()` is used to specify the COM identifiers, and to set the attributes ToSuperClass and StockEvents to expose only the API of the class itself, and to add COM stock events to the ActiveX control.

     #include "ax1.h"
     #include "ax2.h"
     #include <QAxFactory>

     QAXFACTORY_BEGIN("{98DE28B6-6CD3-4e08-B9FA-3D1DB43F1D2F}", "{05828915-AD1C-47ab-AB96-D6AD1E25F0E2}")
         QAXCLASS(QAxWidget1)
         QAXCLASS(QAxWidget2)
     QAXFACTORY_END()

The classes are exported from the server using the QAxFactory macros.

To build the example you must first build the QAxServer library. Then run `qmake` and your make tool in `examples/activeqt/multiple`.

The demonstration requires your WebBrowser to support ActiveX controls, and scripting to be enabled.

     <script language="javascript">
     function setColor( form )
     {
         Ax1.fillColor = form.colorEdit.value;
     }

     function setWidth( form )
     {
         Ax2.lineWidth = form.widthEdit.value;
     }
     </script>
