VBA::_ErrObject

Hello.

I've got such a problem. In Visual Basic I have made ActiveX Dll and function like:

Public Sub showError(error as ErrObject)
...
End sub

A this Dll I want to use in VC++
I create IDL file, compile it, generated .c and .h files were added to project a compiled.

But then the function in VC++ looks like:
HRESULT showError(VBA::_ErrObject **error);

And I don't know how to create that VBA::_ErrObject in VC++.
It look like it is a normal COM object (_ErrObject) but _ErrObjectPtr.CreateInstance doesn't work.

I have #import msvbvm60.dll used.

Thanks for help.

Within VB ErrObject is non-creatable. It's static. Try making:
Set objError = New ErrObject
work.

Expose a GetErrObject from your VB ActiveX DLL and use it to obtain a pointer to ErrObject from VC++. At least you'll get an ErrObject pointer which you can pass to showError.

Hi.

I have tried it.
But Set objError = new ErrObject doesn't work.
It throws exception ActiveX cant create object in VB.

So I have used
Set objError = err // return global error object.

This works, but behaves buggy. Something in objErrr is set when I call showError but description is not set.
It looks like the objError is the same global err object and objErr.descritption is empty.

So where can be problem.

Ok thanks a lot. I have though about it the same way. pseudoErrObject will be good.
