Visual Basic Syntax

The syntax for the object's properties, methods, and events is the same as for other objects/controls in Visual Basic.

Whenever you declare a variable as a data type, you need to know how the ActiveX data type is expressed in Visual Basic. Refer to the following table for the appropriate data type:

ActiveX Data Type	Visual Basic Data Type
boolean	Boolean
BSTR	String
IPictureDisp	Picture
long	Long
OLE_HANDLE	Integer on a 16-bit system; Long on a 32-bit system
OLE_COLOR	Long color value (such as the RGB return value)
OLE_XPOS_PIXELS	Long
OLE_YPOS_PIXELS	Long
short	Integer
float	Single
