Problems with CreateObject 2

[MEGUIA]

Good Morning

I got a library created in visual basic and I want to use it in a VFP 8.0 program. I always create andf load the object in VB 6.0 like this:

VB.
Dim x As Library.libclass
Set x = New Library.libclass
x.MyMethod

(In VB work's)

Now I'm instanciating the class in VFP 8.0 like this:

VFP

x = createobject("Library.libclass&quot
x.MyMethod
(It doesn't work)

The problem it's that I see the properties of the object but not the methods.

Any help would be great.

Thank You.

MEGUIA,

Your code looks perfectly OK to me.

If you are using VFP 7.0 or above, try running the code in the command window. When you type x., you will see a list of all the properties and methods of the object. Is the method you are looking for present in that list? If not, there is something wrong with the control (or the documentation). If it is present, you should be able to execute it. Are you sure it is not working?

Hi

Try this..

oNew = NewObject("myObjClass","myPath\myClassLibrary&quot
oNew.MyMethod()

This is different from createobbject in that, you can use a VCX in NewObject, while the CREATEOBJECT is more convenient if the class definition is followed in the same piece of PRG.

OR

SET CLASSLIB TO myClass.vcx
oNew = CREATEOBJECT("myClassInMyClassLibrary&quot

This will also do the same job.

When you ask VFP questions, please add VFP version.

Ramani,

oNew = NewObject("myObjClass","myPath\myClassLibrary&quot

Surely, Meguia is working with a COM object (he said it was written in VB). Why should the location of a classlib or PRG be relevant?

One silly thing to check is that you want to make sure it is registered on the computer.

Run regsvr32 myfile.dll

If this works, you can place code in the startup program to look to see if it is registered. If not, copy it to the system directory and register it. That will handle new computer setups.
