Using VFP8 and creating an object in code that is based off the far point spread (fpoint.com) control version 8. If I just drop the control on a form, all is well. But if I create the control in code, it pops up a message box saying it can find the license.dat file. I contacted their support and they sent me a string to pass when creating the control in code, but no example in VFP how to do that.



The string they sent is (slightly changed since they say it is proprietary information):

L"Copyright (c) 1995 FarPointSpread"

My Attempts to date:

oSpread80=CREATEOBJECT("FPSpreadADO.fpSpread.6")
oSpread80=CREATEOBJECT("FPSpreadADO.fpSpread.6",'L"Copyright (c) 1995 FarPointSpread" ' )
oSpread80=CREATEOBJECT("FPSpreadADO.fpSpread.6",'LCopyright (c) 1995 FarPointSpread' )
oSpread80=CREATEOBJECT("FPSpreadADO.fpSpread.6","Copyright (c) 1995 FarPointSpread" )

All to no avail.

She just sent me this example for C++, but no foxpro
This is how you do this in VC6++: I do not have an example for fox pro.

 BOOL Create(LPCTSTR lpszWindowName, DWORD dwStyle, const RECT& rect, CWnd* pParentWnd, UINT nID,
CFile* pPersist = NULL, BOOL bStorage = FALSE, BSTR bstrLicKey = NULL) { return CreateControl(GetClsid(), lpszWindowName, dwStyle, rect, pParentWnd, nID, pPersist, bStorage,
            SysAllocString((OLECHAR FAR *)L"Copyright (c) 1995 FarPoint")); }

Thanks for any input.
