I sat down today to try to write a VFP class that would act as a 'wrapper' to a COM control. I wanted to do this myself and do it non-visually (i.e. I wanted to write it in code using the DEFINE CLASS command as opposed to a visual control in a VCX file.) To make a long story short, I realized how little I actually know when I got into using the IMPLEMENTS clause to implement a COM interface and the need to bind the COM object's events to a VFP object. Not quite the same thing as dropping a control on a form and coding the events, LOL. I'm not accustomed to coding quite so far down to the bare metal. :)

I tried to read through the documentation included with VFP and it was about as clear as mud. What I think I need is a good discussion of COM objects - their interfaces and events. It would be nice to have it from a VFP standpoint, but something more generic would work as well. Can anyone make any recommendations?
