Hi all,

I think this is impossible, but here is my question:

It is possible to pass a VFP object as a parameter to an automation
method?

I wanna develop an DLL to act as an in-process automation server for a
VFP application. I'm using the OCXAPI.LIB and PRO_EXT.H from the library
construction kit and the automation server can take advantage of all
the VFP API functions, so it makes sense receiving a VFP object.
I tried with a OLE VARIANT type. The VARIANT structure is filled by VFP
like it was a LPDISPATCH (an OLE interface). But the actual value is
useless. I don't think is a valid OLE interface. My hope was that VFP
will convert the data to something like a pointer to a Value or Locator.
Is not the case.

I can only think at passing a string (the name of a variable referencing
the object) and the use the _NameTableIndex, _FindVar and _Load
functions...

Anyone has a better ideea?

Regards,
Remus
