can activex dlls display a form? i made a msn plus plugin but the form never shows. if i put a msgbox there it will show but anything after and includin the form.show code is ignored
 
Yes you can, just like in an exe. See thread708-845604 for more information.

Are you referencing the ActiveX exe and properly creating the object required to call the form? You need to create a procedure within the main class of the ActiveX that you can call and that will open the form for you. Post the code you are using to show the form.

this function gets called from the main class

Function ShowAbout()
Dim About As String
About = App.ProductName & " " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & "." & App.Revision _
& vbCrLf & App.FileDescription
MsgBox About, vbInformation, "About..."
frmAbout.Show
End Function

but everything after (MsgBox About, vbInformation, "About...") is ignored.
the function is called by:

Public Function Configure()
ShowAbout
End Function

in the main class

thanks
 
have you thought about
Code:
frmAbout.Show vbModal

I don't know if this suits what you are trying to do...

Take Care
