Title:
Can't get an ActiveX control's events to fire
Hi,
I'm trying to use the FaxMan ActiveX control for faxing in VFP 5.0. It works fine...with one slight problem.
As a fax is being sent, the control has a FaxStatus() event that fires periodically. By adding code to the event, one can update a progress bar and (more importantly) determine when the fax has completed.
I created a simple test form with this control. After adding about a dozen lines of code, I was able to send a fax and watch the FaxStatus() event fire every few seconds.
In my real-life application, I want to stay in a programmatic loop until the fax is complete. However, now the FaxStatus() event won't fire. I tried setting AutoYield to both T/F. I tried adding a DoEvents inside of my loop. I'm stuck. Will the ActiveX control's events only fire when sitting at a READ EVENTS?
TIA,
Tim
