Title: Paid Help With ActiveX Control w/FF
Post by: mwmeeks on April 26, 2004, 02:18:44 PM

Hi,

Please read - No need to respond - unless you want to accept the project!

I have a custom ActiveX (written by me - Delphi7.x), that integrates with FF just fine. The problem I am having is accessing the properties of the control within FF. Just not understanding the requirements for settting the properties.

For example in VB - I would use:

MyControl.PageSize = 500
MyControl.PageWidth = 1440

Willing to pay anyone who is willing to create a simple example in FF - using the control - and setting the following properties:

1) PageSize
2) PageWidth
3) Height
4) Width
5) Size
6) PageOffset

Coder gets to keep the copy of the control and unlimited use.

Thanks
Mike

If in VB you're using

MyControl.PageSize = 500
MyControl.PageWidth = 1440

Then in PB you have to use

DIM vVar as Variant
vVar = 500
Object Let MyControl.PageSize = vVar
vVar = 1440
Object Let MyControl.PageWidth = vVar

Hi Jose,

Thanks for the response!

You get error 533 because MyControl is not declared. Use the dispatch variable assigned by FireFly. If it is the first OCX control in the main form it should be DISPATCH_FORM1_OCXCONTROL1, so change MyControl with DISPATCH_FORM1_OCXCONTROL1.

Jose - owe you a case of beer!

DISPATCH_FORM1_MYCONTROL1 works!

Thanks... and let me know where to send the beer!

Hi Michael,

I live in Valencia, Spain, so the freight will cost you a fortune. Better drink you the beer to my health, but only a bottle every day :)

May I know what does your control? Just curious.

Jose

On your WebSite - add a PayPal Button - "Make a donaction" - and I'll be the first to donate! (Not sure if you have a web-site) 0 but the offer still applies!

Appreciate your assitance! Using ActiveX with FF - requires patience and alot of testing... but if the control is honestly-needed - then the option to use it - is within reach!

Regards
Mike
