Hide My Folders ActiveX - Quick implementation guide

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to implement and embed Hide My Folders ActiveX control into your application:

  • Generate application ID by GUIDGen.exe which uniquely identifies your application which you will use HMFAx for. For instance: 18209230-8CD7-4c32-A7B9-C5938A61908F. Note: this step should be done on developer's PC.

  • While creating application's main form or window (FormLoad(), OnInitDialog(), OnCreate(), etc.) call SetCurrentHidingEngine method with generated ID as parameter.

    Note: this step should be done on developer's PC.
  • Use any method or property provided by Hide My Folder ActiveX within your application.
  • Include ActiveX registration step into your installation procedure. Regsvr32 should be called with application ID you have generated during step one (for instance: 18209230-8CD7-4c32-A7B9-C5938A61908F ).

    Note: this code should be executed on a client's machine during installation procedure.
