The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Visual Basic calling DLL events

Asked by amit1978 in Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Programming

Tags: , ,

When I show a non-modal dialog events are being returned to the calling application from the activeX so everything seems to be working fine.

However when I show a modal dialog events are getting blocked and are not seen by the calling application.

Attached is an example of the problem. One is a sample ActiveX dll and the other is a demo app which is using that dll.

Problems:

In dubug mode (IDE) of ActiveX dll, the demo app is seeing the Clicked event, however the event does not get fired in complied version of Dll.

Clicked Event is fired on Clicking [OK] button of ActiveX dll dialog

Need to Solve:

Demo app must get the event when clicking on the ActiveX dll dialog [Ok] button in the compiled exe.

In DLL Project
Add a form (Dialog) containing two buttons

Option Explicit
Public Event Clicked()

Private Sub CancelButton_Click()
    Hide
End Sub

Private Sub OKButton_Click()
        RaiseEvent Clicked
End Sub

Add a Class (clsTest)

Dim WithEvents mDialog As Dialog
Public Event Clicked()
Public Sub Load()
    Set mDialog = New Dialog
    mDialog.Show vbModal
    Unload mDialog
    Set mDialog = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub mDialog_Clicked()
    MsgBox "Anu Jain"
    RaiseEvent Clicked
    MsgBox "Anu Jain111"
End Sub

Compile and register the DLL.

Create VBProject

Add form containing on Button, include reference of registered DLL.

Dim WithEvents mDialog As ModalDialogTest.clsTest
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Set mDialog = New ModalDialogTest.clsTest
    mDialog.Load
   
End Sub
Private Sub mDialog_Clicked()
    MsgBox ""
End Sub
