Hi Larry,
Using the bindevents method of VFPCOM, how do you reference a property on the ActiveX/COM object from within the VFP event sink object procedures?

If I have this as a procedure in the class def. of the sink object:
PROCEDURE INIT
THIS.LEFT = 100
ENDPROC

Referencing this.left doesnt reference the ActiveX object, because This is the sink object.
I know I can add a property in the class def. of the sink object and after binding the ActiveX to the sink object, store an object reference to the ActiveX in that custom property and use the following init event:

PROCEDURE INIT
THIS.oBound.LEFT=100
ENDPROC
*oBound being the custom property added to the class def.

Is there another way? if this makes sense...
TIA,
Jon
