withevents

[dungism]

Hey, I created an ActiveX DLL, and now i want to use it. I use withevents to instantiate an instance of it, like:

private withevents mydll as thedll.substuff

now how do i go and create an array of it? like create more than 1 instance of 'substuff'?

thanks in advance.

Instead of instancing the DLL through code everytime you want to use it, why not set its "Instancing" property to "6-GlobalMultiUse" and then goto "Project" - "References" and select your DLL.

This way you can call it just like any other function in VB.

Say your DLL has a function in it called "DogYears" and it returns a long.

The DLL Code:

Function DogYears(YourAge) as Long
DogYears = YourAge * 7
End Function

After you've set a reference to your DLL Call it from your project as follows:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox DogYears(21) 'Returns 147 (as long)
End Sub

Just thought this might be easier for you, after I discovered how to I never did it the other way again.

How about the events?? The main concern is the events.

Sorry!

You can't create an array when your using the WithEvents keyword.

yer best bet is to create a sort of linked list that can carry events down a chain of wrapper objects, then have this all contained in a container class, similar to how VB collections work. It's not all that easy tho
