PRB: OCX Visible on All Pageframe Pages After Modal Form Runs

WORKAROUND

For the form that runs atop the form with the OLE Container Control, set the WindowType property to 0 - Modeless.

-or-

In the Deactivate code for the pages that contain OLE Container Controls, move the OLE Container Control object off the page by setting its Left property to a high value. Move the object back to its proper position in the Activate code of the page.

Workaround One

Set the WindowType to 0 - Modeless for any forms brought up over forms that have OLE Container Controls on inactive pages.

Workaround Two

The following workaround moves the OLE Container Controls that are on inactive pages to a place outside the form boundaries, so modal forms can be used.

For the form that holds the pageframe with pages containing OLE Container Control objects, perform these steps:

1. In the Init code of each of the OLE Container Controls, place:

      THIS.Left=3500             && Some artificially high value
   						

2. In the Activate code of each page, place:

      THIS.Olecontrol1.Left=35   && desired placement when on active page
   						

3. In the Deactivate code of each page, place:

      THIS.Olecontrol1.Left=3500   && artificially high value
   						

Each OLE Container Control will now be visible only when it is on the active page.
