Raising Events from ActiveX Control

[WALDO]

I'm going to post this in the other forum, too.

Here's the deal...
I have an ActiveX control that I wrote. I have custom events that I raise from code like AxInitializationComplete, and ErrorTrapped.

When hosted on a vb form all my events raise as expected. When hosted on a web page in Internet Explorer, the only events that fire are ones in which RaiseEvent is called in an event raised by the control or its constituent controls.

I know some of you are going, "HUH?"

If I call RaiseEvent from any Method that I wrote, the event does not bubble up to IE. If I call RaiseEvent in say, cboInput_Click(), my events raise.

Option Explicit
 
Event ErrorTrapped()
Event AxInitializationComplete()
Event UserSelected()
Event ControlGotFocus()
 
Private Sub cboInput_LostFocus()
    RaiseEvent UserSelected 'OK
End Sub
 
Private Sub UserControl_Initialize()
    Call Init()
End Sub
 
Private Function Init()
    RaiseEvent AxInitializationComplete 'Does Not Work
End Sub

Hi,

I don't think any event can be triggered before the control Initialize event is complete as the event sink isn't valid yet. Try putting a timer on the control and start it on the initialise event and trigger the event after, say, half a second?

I had a similar problem, the controls on the control is not loaded until the init event is complete, there is another event usercontrol_show that triggers once everything is done, but it re-triggers every time the control is shown.


I can't think of any reason you would want an event to fire then anyway.
