ActiveX/Callable IDL [message #31338] Tue, 02 July 2002 14:26

Hello !

I'd like to connect an existing Visual Basic application to an existing
IDL application using IDL 5.5 on Win 2000/XP. I already succeeded in
embedding the IDL program into Visual Basic/Visual C using the IDL
ActiveX Control (IDLDrawWidget); the widgets of the IDL application work
properly and sending commands from Visual Basic to IDL works. However, I
would like to have a two way interface - so that IDL can also send
commands to the Visual Basic/C program. The easiest thing
to do this would be something like firing an user defined event from IDL
via the ActiveX control. Is there a possibility to do so?
Or should I use a completely different technique (maybe Callable IDL) ?
A phone call to my local IDL dealer wasn't very helpful....

Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks very much for every suggestion,

best wishes

Michael
