How to Read OLE Type Library Information in Visual FoxPro

MORE INFORMATION

This information is available through the OLE control's type library, which was created by the .ocx developer. Visual FoxPro allows you to read this information programmatically by using the AMEMBERS() function.

Steps to Determine Events, Methods, and Properties Exposed in an .Ocx File

1. Create a new form.
2. Add an OLE Container control to the form.
3. On the Insert menu, click Control, and select the desired control.
4. Save and run the form. Minimize the form.
5. In the Command window, type:

      =AMEMBERS(aType, formname.olecontrol1,1)
      _SCREEN.SHOW
      DISPLAY MEMORY LIKE aType
   						

The array containing the exposed properties and methods of the .ocx should be displayed.
