using activex for getting access to tapi: msg#00047

Subject: using activex for getting access to tapi
Hi,

I'm currently trying to write a little application that uses TAPI to retrieve the caller id of incoming phone calls. I have a running prototype that retrives the id using Win32::OLE but this runs it own message loop via Win32::OLE->MessageLoop(). Because i also need a GUI for configuration and display purposes, i decided to switch to Wx::ActiveX if possible. Ad here i ran into troubles when i tried to get access to the TAPI.

I tried the following:

package AppWnd;
use vars qw(@ISA);
@ISA=qw(Wx::Frame);

use Wx qw(:sizer wxTE_MULTILINE );
use Wx::ActiveX;
use Wx::Event qw(EVT_BUTTON EVT_MENU) ;
use Wx qw(wxDefaultPosition wxDefaultSize wxDEFAULT wxNORMAL wxID_OK);

sub new {
 my( $class ) = shift;
 my( $this ) = $class->SUPER::new( undef, -1, $_[0], $_[1], $_[2] );
 my $sCLSID_TAPI='{21D6D48E-A88B-11D0-83DD-00AA003CCABD}';
my $oTapi = Wx::ActiveX->new( $this, $sCLSID_TAPI,101 , wxDefaultPosition , wxDefaultSize);
...
and all i get is :

the invocant must be a reference at c:/aceopt/perl/site/lib/Wx/ActiveX.pm line 26.

I have had a look in this file and it seems that the new function delegates the creation of the control
  $activex = Wx::ActiveX::newID($class,$parent,$id,@_) ;
which invokes the autoloader function.

Is this a bug in Wx::ActiveX or do i try something illegal?
Is it possible to access a normal com object using Wx::ActiveX or must it be a dedicated activex control?

Im am using ActiveState perl v5.8.6 and Wx::ActiveX v0.0599

Please can anyone give me some hints ? I really don't want to run two message loops in different threads.

best regards,
Gerrit Wichert
