All,

I am using activex to show a window in explorer. I create the object with:

oActiveX = TActiveX():New( oWndHP, "Shell.Explorer.2" )

When the user closes the window I call a function in the VALID clause, passing the activex object to get the document contents. In this function I use:

oDoc := TOleAuto():New( oActiveX:GetProp("document") )

This has worked fine on several of our users computers but today I have a user gets the following error on the above line.

Error description: Error Shell.Explorer.2/0 S_OK: GETPROP
Args:
[ 1] = C document

This user has XP installed with 6.0 of IE (same as me). He did have Firefox set as his default browser but I had him change that. Anyone have any idea why this isn't working?

What is the difference between shell.explorer and shell.explorer.2?

Thanks,
Randal

Randal,

With the modified Class TActiveX that we published in these forums and that has been included in FWH 9.06 you can simply do:

oActiveX = TActiveX():New( oWndHP, "Shell.Explorer.2" )

oDoc := oActiveX:document
