send data from ASP page to the activeX control

[gohan2108]

Hi
How can send data from ASP page to the activeX control. I have some variables in one asp page. When I go to the enxt page I have this activeX control loaded. The moment it loads I need to send the stored variables inside ActiveX control.
How can I do that??
thanks in advance
Gohan

Copy the data into SESSION variables for this task.

Why would you do that?

Ever heard of "function parameters"?

yes u r right no need to copy into session variables. I have a function in activex control which takes parameters. from asp i call the function using the object name and function and pass the parameters. inside activex i have the code for storing those variables into global variables.

example:
usercontrol1.functionName para1,para2,para3

where usercontrol1 is the activex object id we define inside object tag.

so what's the answer i have same problem

-asp page-
<OBJECT ....etc...>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;name&quot; VALUE=&quot;bob&quot;>
</OBJECT>

-in VB activex control-

dim name
name = ??????????

how do you get the PARAM form the asp to here????

>> -asp page-

That's not &quot;from asp&quot;. At that point your in HTML running in the browser. It's not the same thing.

I'm not a VB guy but i imagine you need to use the property GET/SET ActiveX VB technique whatever that is. I can’t show you because I would rather have some teeth pulled than write VB code. LOL
