AttachToCalendar

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi

I have currently started using CodeJock software. I use it to interact with Progress 4gl programs.

I am currently creating a calendar which will be used in my Progress program as an ocx. I am using VB 6 to create the ocx's.

But i have come across a problem.

I have 2 programs one with the date picker and one with the calendar view only. These will be added in my Progress 4gl program and then attached in there when i make a call to Attachcalendar in the datepicker program by passing in the com-handle of the calendar to which it will attach to.

In my datepicker i have the procedure:

Public Sub AttachToCalendar(ByVal Calendar As Variant)
    DateSelection.AttachToCalendar Calendar

End Sub

I have to use a variant as the input parameter which is causing me problems as the i pass the com-handle into this variable.

When i create the controls is it better to have the controls in the same OCX? 

any suggestions would be great

cheers

TJ

	Hi tejsign, I am doing exactly the same thing right now. I am building a calendar app ocx with VB6 to be used in Openroad 4gl. I think it will be much easier if you put the controls into the same ocx. I do not think you can pass an externalobjectfield in 4gl to another frame. I have include the calendar and a datepicker on the same usercontrol in VB6 as one usercontrol and only a datepicker on another usercontrol for standalone use in 4gl.

	Hi Thanks for the reply. Have you attached the datepicker and calendar in your Progress 4gl program? Did you use a variant in the module defined within VB? (like i have showed in my post above regards Tj
