Hi Bill,

Writing it in VB6 as a dll and then calling it from VFP is a possibility; I had to do that when working with the Crystal Dictionary some time back.

There are other possibilities.

1) set all your properties in code (since we know they wrote a non-standard interface, and so the properties aren't going to stick).
2) use .object when referring to the object. E.g., if it is on the form as oMayor, the reference would be thisform.oMayor.object.... For improperly written interfaces, this sometimes allows you to get past the VFP interface directly to their interface.
3) I assume you are working with VFP7, where some of VFP's stuff was supposedly cleaned up a bit.

hth,

Hank

>I'm stumped. The control offers asynchronous calls to Bloomberg for stock data. The sending parameters include a string for the Ticker symbol, a numeric to identify the request, a zero-based array to specify the fields required. I can't figure out how to poll for the return. Supposedly there is a "data" event but this doesn't show up with the methods in the property sheet. All of the examples are in c++ or vb -- except one VFP example that I can't make work. (The only way I could get the control to show up on the downloaded example form was to hack the scx and excise the "proc data" method code from one of the "Reserved" memo fields.)
