[RESOLVED] Create common event for array of controls

[Elroy]

Okay, I thought I'd try and replicate Trick's trick with the TextBox control. I was well on my way, but one stumbling block.

I don't have C++ installed on my new machine, and I don't even have easy access to a CD drive at the moment.

I'm going to post the IDL file for what I think will be the TextBox version. Someone setup for using MIDL and has C++ installed, if you could compile and then re-attach the resulting TLB, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Elroy

Hmmm, it keeps saying "Invalid File" on the attachment. Here's the source to it:

I had it named "textbox_arr.idl", and was hoping for a "textbox_arr.tlb" file.
