How to get activeX control type

Hey,

If you run through the widget tree ... you can test if the widget is a control frame ...

IF phWidget:TYPE = "CONTROL-FRAME" THEN ...

if you have the handle to the control frame you can get the handle of the control that resides on the control frame

For example :

assign hCfComHdl                       = TreeViewControl:com-handle
          hCOLLECTION                  = hCfComHdl:controls
          hTREEVIEWHANDLE        = hCOLLECTION:item(1).

Then you can get the name --> hTREEVIEWHANDLE:name

kind regards

Gerd

Thanks Gerd,

   But One thing Ijust want to confirm.

You have written ,

      -->   Then you can get the name --> hTREEVIEWHANDLE:name

My Question is -

    Does name of any activex control never change ?

i.e.  Does hTREEVIEWHANDLE:name will give me alswys same value.

That all depends on you! The name of the Active X Control is usually a setable property (like at MS TreeView).

Why do you need to rely on the name of the Control instance? You might want to rethink the design...

Attached is a screenshot of the TreeView Active X Control property sheet in the AppBuilder.

I changed the name of the Control of a German word.Your code should not rely on me not doing this.

for this sort of thing you should use the tag property to store the information that you need (i.e tag = treeview1)

Thank Mike,

  I am working on a tool(created in Progress) which calles progress screen and Identify its widget and perform operations on that i.e.

  when it find buttonn it performs Click opertaion.

  For Progress defined widget Progress give Proper type of widget i.e for

  for Button   "hWdgethandle:type"  (assuming hWidgetHandle is widget handle gives Button.

  But I stuck at one place when OCX come into picture.

  Progress just Provide  me "CONTROL-FRAME".

  So, My Question is ,

   Is there any attribute Provided by OCX through which we can identify, the exact type ie  tabstrip, treeview etc.

Thanks
