Catch Event From ActiveX Using VFP 9.0

[esimnick]

I am using vpe to preview a document and need to detect when the preview has been closed. I am using Visual FoxPro 9.0. I need to know how to catch an event from the control to tell my program to continue.

I use as well VFP9. I do it like that

At the start make the preview internal with

poVPE.externalwindow=.f.

Then

poVPE.preview()
push key
on key label ctrl+E clear events
poVPE.DefineKey(VKEY_CLOSE,VKEY_ESCAPE, 0, 0)
read events
pop key

put in the "afterdestroywindow" event of the OCX

Code: Select all

clear events

Like that, if the preview is closed your programm will continue and with escape you can close the preview
