Problems with Bool and activeX

Hi,
Is there a way when creating activeX from existing components to have
functions returning bool to defautlt to TOLEBOOL instead of the VARIANT_BOOL
that BCB6 creates in the newly created ActiveX implementation.
Thanks
John

No. VARIANT_BOOL is the correct type to use for boolean parameters. In BCB
6, Borland decided not to use as many smart wrappers in interfaces as they
did in older versions.

Thanks Gambit,
I noticed that in BDS they have gone back again to using TOLEBOOL.
I have a VB application that seems to have some problems using the new ocx
file I created originaly in BCB5.

I do all of my ActiveX development in BCB 5 and haven't had any problem
using BCB5-written controls in VB.
