ActiveX lying to me. (non-modal forms)
Hi,
suffering here. Ive got an activex control that will basically be conducting a voluntary user survey of a website. The way it works is having one control to start off a form, which contains another activex control that actually does the survey.
The problem is when the starter activex control launches the main form it give me a run time error 406 - non modal forms cannot be show in an activex dll etc.
Apparently the solution to this is to make the project an activex exe, but of course having done this makes no difference whatsoever :confused:
help?
now activex control not showing up!
since the last post i have refactored the code a bit. I got rid of the two activex controls, replacing it with 1, which starts off a form which then monitors the ie events rather than having a second activex control in a form.
Simple error from a newbie where I didnt have the InternetExplorer object in the correct place.
Then the control decided to be a real pain about accepting parameters again, eventually got past that only to have my simple html form asking users if they want to take part in the survey (asks in html first to avoid downloading control everytime) decided to break and will only work using get method now whereas before it was fine with post???
And now you get to the page with the activex control on it and it downloads it, hammering the hard disk for a few seconds then not doing anything. Class id etc. are correct.
