Automation in VB

[SPRobson]

Hi

I want to drive my VB application from another in-house application written in C++. I've been told I can do this using Automation (formerly OLE?). a) Is this true? b) How do I do it? c) What do I have to do with my VB application to make it 'automation' compliant?

Thanks for your help

Simon

can you convert the C++ file into an activeX dll? If you can then you can access the public methods using the declare function statement in VB.

Check MSDN (msdn.microsoft.com) for,
"Creating an ActiveX DLL" and
"Accessing DLLs and the Windows API"
for examples on how to do this.

HTH,
