newly registered cfx tag problem

[pelican]

OK, never done this before, but I should be able to call the new cfx tag like I
do any tag, right? Just start typing and the auto complete comes on and gives
me all the options for the tag, yes? It's a C++ tag, I've registered it and
place the .dll in the cffusionmx7/cfx directory on the hard drive of the
coldfusion server. Am I forgetting something? Thanks.

Are you getting any errors when you call your cfx_ tag? I'm trying to write
my first java cfx and I keep getting an error message. At first I thought it
was because I used a newer version of the SDK than coldfusion can support. But
after installing the 1.4 version my error messages changed from

(HelloColdFusion (Unsupported major.minor version 50.0) to (HelloColdFusion
(Unsupported major.minor version 49.0))

No, I'm not getting errors. I'm not getting the tag autocomplete show up when
I start typing the command like it normally does. I'm asking if I'm forgetting
something when it comes to adding it, because the tag does not seem to show up
in the autocomplete library.

Its my assumption that if you see the cfx_ tag under the Registered CFX Tags
section and the class path is in the startup path then you should be able to
call it from a cfm page. Have you tried using the new cfx?

This is from the Coldfusion help:

*

To register a C++ CFX tag:
1.

On the CFX Tags page, click the Register C++ CFX button.
2.

On the Add/Edit CFX C++ Tag page, specify the following
information:


Option


Description

Tag Name


Provide a name for the CFX tag that you are registering. Tag names must be
prefixed with cfx_.

Server Library (.dll)


Enter the path to the library, or click Browse Server to locate the library
that you want to use.

Procedure


Enter the procedure that implements the CFX tag. The procedure name must
correspond with the procedure associated with the DLL or shared object you have
specified. Notice that procedure names are case sensitive.

2.

Click Submit Changes to apply and save the CFX tag registration.

Yes, I've followed those instructions. And I've tried typing the command on my
cfm pages, yes. But you when you start typing a CF command, the little windows
pops up and you can choose from which command you want? And if you hit enter,
that command is autotyped, and then if you hit the space key, then the options
for that specific command appear in a popup window? That is what I am not
getting with my new cfx tag. The tag name does not appear at all in that popup
window.

[unixsyadm]

So you aren't having a problem using the new C++ CFX_ but the Intellisense does not display?

[pelican]

Uh, I've never heard the word intellisense applied before, but if that's what fits my description, then yes.
