Hello.
What am I doing wrong? I made a simple activex control which is a label
and a timer. There are two methods in the control tGO and tSTOP. when tgo
is called the timer interval is set and is enabled. The label caption
begins displaying the time like a digital clock. tSTOP disables the timer.
I made a VB standard exe project and brought the ocx in as a component,
put it on a form and it ran wonderful. Now I want to use the ocx on a web
page from an asp.net web forms project. I read on MS site that I can
either make a Ref to the control and instantiate from code, or add to tool
box as a component. I chose the latter. I dragged the control onto a
webform object and ran the page - the control showed up ok. I went back to
code module for webform to write the code to call go and stop - But here's
the problem: The Public Methods I wrote in the ocx are not available in
the webform code module. It's like the project "sees" the visual aspect of
the control but it has no Object aspect of it. I looked in Object Browser
and I see me control namespace there and I can branch out and see the
methods but I can't call them from anywhere in the project code. I read on
MS site that in order to use an OCX in a WIN FORMS project you have to run
AXIMP.EXE compiler on each one to make a net wrapper for it, but it say's
nothing about having to do this for WEB FORM projects. Please Help.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I need to make a client side "Applet" but
I don't currently program in Java, so AX is what I am going to use.
Thanks
James
