Hi Michael,

>>To help clarify what he posted, in theory, COM isn't supposed to expose properties, so to get the value of a property you'd query Get_Property. If we did that internally within VFP, it might have unintended consequences.

I must admit I haven't checked IE itself in VB but my personal experience with other ActiveX shows in VB IDE and debugger one can see almost everything ( or everything ) of its properties. So VB team made a decision to query , but VFP not.


Frankly, the COM/ActiveX behavior was established within VFP long before I came around. Also, technically, the VS IDE and debugger and the VFP IDE and debugger are very different animals. I would expect some differences in capabilities.

But, I'll check .Net behavior, and I'll see what the differences are...
