Hi Vlad,
>Just for your information: I remember, latest versions of West Wind WEB connection (
www.West-Wind.com) contain an example of using of graphs.
I saw that article but it thought that it simply displayed a GIF image and didn't embed an activex control which is what I am trying to accomplish.
>To access the object and configure it, you require to use the Document property of the WEB Browser Control, that gives you a complete access to the DOM - Document Objects Model. These objects are similar to what you use when programming WEB pages by adding a Java Script code to them. The objects, properties and methods are described in MSDN. Also, for samples, just look for Java Script samples and DHTML samples.
Any ideas where I may find such samples?
>Once you managed to put ActiveX object and access it...
That's my problem. I don't know how to access the activex control. I can use FrontPage to add a chart control to my web page, however, once done, how do I get a reference to it from VFP? When I open the debugger I can see that there are some values that display when I watch:
_vfp.activeform.olebrowser.document
None of these things seem to be a reference to the chart control!
>As you see, to do all this, you have to learn and should have manuals/references for at least three things: HTML, DOM, objects model for ActiveX control you chosen to use for Graphs displaying.
Is there a DOM for the web browser that I can download?
>If you want to display just a chart to users, you do not need to do this in form of the WEB page. VFP can display ActiveX controls by self.
I know about the latter. In fact, I use Graphic Server's activex control in my VFP forms to show all types of charts and graphs with great success. I simply want to try the same ideas in a web page. Next, I want to try to put a grid, not a HTML table, in a web page...yeah I'm a sick puppy :)
>Good luck!
Somehow I know I'm going to need it. I'm going to have to learn HTML, scripting, blah, blah, blah. OK. I'm ready. Bring it on.
Thanks again for the reply.
Mike
