 Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2005 12:34 pm Post subject: Working with OLE Objects |
 |
|
I am creating a database in OOBase which I have already created in MS Access but I seem to be hitting a brick wall when it comes to linked files or OLE Objects.
I am trying to build a mp3 database which allows the user to organise and play their mp3 collection.
The problem is that in access I can choose a OLE Object field in table design and then set the properties in form design eg. (Linked or Embedded). There seems to be no way of doing this with OOBase. I have tried selecting OTHER field in the table design mode, but I cannot insert or link an ole object in form view.
I may of course be making my app the hard way so if anyone has created a multimedia dbase that can organise and play media within the app then please put me right. |

SPJ29,
I don't believe OOBase has an OLE control per se. There is a thread that shows how to call an OLE object from within a OOBasic function. With this I think someone could put together the type of application that you are speaking of, it is a WIndows only solution then of course.
The thread is
