Creating an Object from a JAVA DLL 2

[rosenfed]

I need to instanciate an objet that is on a DLL. Under VB I use REFERENCES to include this DLL into the program. Is there any way to do the same under Visual FoxPro?

Hi my friend
Start by register you DLL using the command

! REGSVR32.EXE <DLL Path>\<DLL Name>.dll

If the registeration is completed OK you suppose to get a message like
DIIRegisterServer in <DLL Path>\<DLL Name>.dll succeeded
Then you will be able to instantiate you COM object in VFP using

OMyObject=CREATEOBJECT(&quot;<DLL Name>&quot;)

No, VFP6 does not expose COM interfaces/Type libraries, nor does it support early binding or strong typing.

As per Walid's comments, you can still use the COM object via late binding:

oMyObject = CreateObject(&quot;MyDll.MyClass&quot
oMyObject.MyMethod

VFP7 addresses several of these issues:
