I've been having problems using the MapPoint OCX with FireFly. It GPFs before displaying the form. I've tried viewing the OCX sample provided with FireFly, but it fails to show the calendar (everything else comes up OK).
Am I badly in need of a Windows XP reinstall? :)
Are there any other samples or common issues I may be missing?
Thanks!
Soryy for the delay - I will take a look at this tonight to see if I can spot any problems.
Thanks Paul! I appreciate it.
Did you have a chance to take a look at this one? Thanks! -John
Hi John,
I am having trouble with FireFly and Vista and OCX/ActiveX. Looks like an error is being thrown by Jose's TypeLib viewer when I try to select an OCX in FireFly. I will need to contact Jose and see if we can redo the way that the TypeLib works in FireFly. Sorry.
In the meantime, I will need to set up another computer with XP to see if the problem occurs there (it should not, but that is the only way that I may be able to test this).
I wanted to give this another shot, so I reinstalled my computer and put a fresh copy of PB, FF, and MapPoint on. I am having the same problems as I was before. Additionally, I still can't get the sample program to display the calendar. I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong. Does anyone have a sample OCX project they know works that I could try out on my computer? Thanks!
Would the MapPoint OCX happen to be written using Visual Basic?
