Public Type MyType
var as Variant //Wich is the FWH Type fro variant
a() as Byte //what does this mean ?
End Type

Public uType as MyType
ReDim uType.a(20) As Byte


Thanks in advance

Clipper/Harbour variables are equivalent to VB variants. They are variables that can hold different types of values.

You may use a FWH STRUCT ... ENDSTRUCT. But the main question is: what do you need it for ?

Array of Bytes.

Hi Antonio & Enrico:
Thank You, por Your Answers.
I'm trying to use Fingerprint ActiveX control, I need to get the image and other information from it (like resolution, etc), and I face this types of data.

I'm still making some test, now.
BTW this is a Non Visual Control, and I haven't see an example of that. And I can't create ActiveX():New() in a Dialog without a Control with 101 as ID.
Do you have and example with this features.
My Dialog shows and image that only should be in design time (VB)

Fco,

You may use FWH CreateOleObject() or xharbour Class TOleAuto.

Antonio:

CreateOleObject() Doesn't have bOnEvent method. Do You have an Example ?
I'm putting a fake control to use activex:new() but I have toubles:
Params from events doesn't match the documentation order, they are moved for 1 or 5 positions to the rigth, and the first parameters are all NILs.
when the parameter is Numeric I recive it good, but ithe image parameter is NIL.

How can I call a ActiveX:Do() Method with By reference parameters ?

Thank You and Regards
Fco Gamboa

Fco,

Please show the documentation you have for that activex control and your source code. Thanks,

You may upload the files to www.hyperupload.com and then copy here the link they provide you.

Antonio:

this is the link

I hope this can help, Please consider It's not a really reduced sample, but take a look at the aParams Array (line 90) where are shifted and doesn't work as expected.

In the Ocx docs exist a lot af ocx:methods with by Reference parameters, especially:
Extract( byRef rawImage as Variant, ...)
and I haven't a known way to call a Method with byReference parameters

uRet = ActXInvoke( ActXPdisp( ::hActiveX ), cMethodName, uParam1,... )

Doesn't do the job for me at this moment.

I will thank any answer.

Antonio:

Based in your silence, I Think is official, FWH ActiveX has unresolved troubles.
Too bad, the only reason that I upgraded to new FWH release was to take advange of this topic.

Fco Gamboa

Fco,

We simply missed your msg. FWH ActiveX support is robust and works fine.

But we are not going to study and implement different ActiveX for our users. We hope that you understand that it is an issue out of the scope of our tech support service.

Based on our provided samples, is FWH users responsability to study the ActiveX docs/samples they want to use and learn how to manage them.

Regarding the use of reference parameters, we are going to develop a sample to show how to use them.
