Help with my first ActiveX Control - Passing Properties 1

[toddman]

This is probably a no brainer, but I need a kick start...

I am building an ActiveX control to dial our company's phone system on our web based intranet.

I've got it to dial... no problem.

But I need to know how to pass a parameter (the Phone Number) to the ActiveX control, then retrieve this parameter. (I am using VB6 to write the ActiveX control)

I am pretty sure I need to use the <PARAM> tag to send the parameter, but what is the syntax to retreive that information in VB?

Any help would be appreciated!

Make a public Function on the control called Dial.

Your control will look like this:

Option Explicit

Private Sub UserControl_Initialize()
'Do you initialization here.
End Sub

Public Function Dial(strPhone As String) As Boolean
'Check for valid phone numbers if you need to.
'Then dial here.
Dial = True
End Function


The code to call it will look like this:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
If Not UserControl11.Dial(&quot;123456789&quot Then
MsgBox &quot;Could not dial phonenumber&quot;
End If
End Sub

hi, i got the same issue.

i would need to get the parameter from the html page within the object tag.

I can't follow you on how you retrieve the parameter from the html page. would you mind to rephrase what you wrote?

of course, i'd appreciate very much.
cheers
