ActiveX OCX cannot be open form non-modal.

[Marcem]

Hello Guys, do you fine?

Well, i have a problem with an ActiveX OCX.

I have an OCX and this open a form non-modal on the Internet Explorer, and
the app generate an strange error:

Non-modal forms cannot be displayed in this host application from an
ActiveX DLL (Error 406)

I need open this form in non-modal model, but i dont want this control
compiled in ActiveX Exe.

Any solution?

Regards and sorry for my bad english.

You'll need to replace any calls to VBs Show method with calls to the ShowWindow API
instead.

Add this to the form you want to show (you can drop in a bas module if you want but it's
convenient to have it in the form itself)
'=======================Form2 here
Option Explicit

Public Enum ShowWinStates
SW_HIDE = 0
SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
SW_NORMAL = 1
SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3
SW_MAXIMIZE = 3
SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE = 4
SW_SHOW = 5
SW_MINIMIZE = 6
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE = 7
SW_SHOWNA = 8
SW_RESTORE = 9
SW_SHOWDEFAULT = 10
SW_FORCEMINIMIZE = 11
SW_MAX = 11
End Enum

Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long

Public Sub ShowForm(State As ShowWinStates)
Call ShowWindow(Me.hWnd, State)
End Sub
'=======================

...and then, to use it, do something like....
'=========
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Call Form2.ShowForm(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
End Sub
'=========

I guess I could've posted a link to some info on why it doesn't work..... The title's
misleading but the "Cause" section is valid.
