VB Forum / COM / November 2005Passing MSHFlexGrid to ActiveX exe
I am attempting to pass a MSHFlexgrid, complete with all formatting to an ActiveX exe. It would appear that I have to pass it as an Object, as VB throws a compilation error if I try to use MSHFlexGrid in the parameters. This would appear to work OK, and I can even assign it within the ActiveX exe to a MSHFlexGrid variable. However, I cannot then assign this variable to a MSHFlexGrid control that is held on one of the ActiveX Exe's forms. I can iterate through the MSHFlexGrid variable and move the values of all textMatrix entries to the grid on the form, but this omits all of the formatting that existed within the original grid. How can effectively pass a 'clone' of the MSHFlexGrid from the orinal code into my ActiveX Exe so they resultant grid looks identival to the original? Thanks for your assistance, Steve. From a post by Jeff Johnson: "You have posted this question individually to multiple groups. This is called Multiposting and it's BAD. Replies made in one group will not be visible in the other groups, which may cause multiple people to respond to your question with the same answer because they didn't know someone else had already done it. This is a waste of time. If you MUST post your message to multiple groups, post a single message and select all the groups (or type their names manually, separated by commas) in which you want it to be seen. This is called Crossposting and when used properly it is GOOD." > I am attempting to pass a MSHFlexgrid, complete with all formatting to an > ActiveX exe.

After reading the following article, I've given up trying to pass controls around. PRB: Passing ActiveX Control to Component Gives "Type Mismatch" Error Message http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;190210 If you have, or grab a copy of, Matt Curland's Advanced Visual Basic 6 (link below), he includes an addin that'll get rid of the core problem... that problem is, as the article above states, when you pass a control, you're actually passing VBs wrapper for that control (the extender object) and that's where the problems start. His addin, gets rid of that problem nicely... as a benefit, you may notice a vast difference in that grids performance (the performance increase is different for each type of control so ymmv) Advanced Visual Basic 6: Power Techniques for Everyday Programs http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0201707128/002-0664696-4168844?v=glance&n=28315 5&v=glance If you grab a used copy, don't even touch it if it doesn't include the CD.

Thanks forn the assistance Ken. For now I've just passed the data through as a table and effectively reconstructed the grid within the ActiveX Exe - laborious but it worked. That book isn't within my collection so I may well have a look at it. Regards, Steve. > >I am attempting to pass a MSHFlexgrid, complete with all formatting to an > > ActiveX exe.
