Hi!

The things I'm talking about are a bit different. This is not an article, but the sample in latest WWC version. I just ran WWC sample page and read following:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Simple Graphing with Internet Explorer
The wwHTML::IEChart method allows easy creation of basic graphs using the IEChart ActiveX control available from Microsoft. Fill in some numeric values to graph in the textboxes below.
....
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<



>>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.

All this is in MSDN Library and at the MS site pages. Just search in the libraries - there are really a LOT of stuff to learn. There are also a few sites around dedicated to learning of these things.

>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:

VFP6 does not dispalys all properties of the ActiveX object and its child objects. In VFP7 you can, and aMemebrs() function will return you also methods. Try to look at it in VFP7. Or, if you use Visual Studio 6.0, Install Visual Basic and try to do this from there (I mean investigate objects model just by browsing objects in run-time using debugging tools).

DOM is DOM - it is the same for all ActiveX controls, Internet Explorer, WEB Browser control etc. It is described in MSDN Library.

>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 :)

Well, I do not think you will be able to put a VFP grid on the WEB page. You can try, however, special ActiveX grids (there are a lot of them around).

>>Good luck!
