ActiveX and .asp variables passing.

[VB6_User]

Hello All,

just a simple question.
How to pass variable from ActiveX control to parent .asp page and back? Or create a session variable from ActiveX?

Thanks.

Call the page through ActiveX control with query strings.

Thanks. It works, but I need to hide variable from user.
Is it possible at all?

[amitabh]

It is definitely possible if you know how to execute a POST method using the Inet Control.

[VB6_User]

Excellent! Could you post a code sample then?
Thanks.

:( Sorry, but I don't know how to create a POST data. All I know is that the data is in the headers of the page.

Use the MSXML.HTTP object to post to an ASP page.

here,

in the page that posting the data:

<form action="filename.asp" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="myField" id="myField" value="xxx"></input>
</form>

and the page "filename.asp" that will receive that data:
<%
dim myField
myField = Request.Form("myField")
%>
