Help with ocx

[and0b]

I'm beginer in VFP programming.
I did register(regsrv32.exe) ocx file I received with my new device. I placed icon(as activeX control) on my new form and now I'm trying to use it(communicate with device). I typed: Thisform.fk524.SetIPAddress='168.192.1.11' and when I run it it is giving error message: "Unknown member fk524". Can somone help me with this problem?

Thank you.
Andrew

I believe the ActiveX object is instantiated, but the problem now is in accessing its properties/methods. Sometimes you have to use object for ActiveX, e.g.

thisform.myActiveX.Object.Property = value

It would be helpful to see VB code.

Here is fragment of vb code:

lpszIPAddress = txtIPAddress
FK524.SetIPAddress lpszIPAddress, CLng(txtPortNo.Text)
If FK524.OpenCommPort(3) = True Then

Ok, I got the problem solved!

ThisForm.fk524.Object.SetIPAddress = "168.192.1.11"

Works.

Thank you very much for your help!

Strange, that it works this way. The code above clearly suggests, that SetIPAddress is a method accepting two parameters.
