Calling form elements in ActiveX controls

[capone67]

Hi Gang

I am working on an activeX control that has several forms in it. What I would like to do is be able to address objects that are on the usercontrol1 object from the forms but I get object required or "with block with out object". So I then tried declaring my timer control as Public in a module and received the same type of error.

My code was

UserControl1.RefuseTime=True

and later on I had a modlue with

Public Timer1 as Timer

and received the same type of error message as above when I tried to access the timer.

Also, how do I allow other activeX controls to access values and methods and receive events in my controls?

Two things I see with this. First, if you're going to raise events from your control you need to declare the variable using withevents. Like this:

Private WithEvents Timer1 As Timer

The second thing you have to do is instantiate the object. You have to say:

Set Timer1 = New Timer

The program that uses the control or DLL you're creating can use the events that are raised in your DLL or control if you expose them. Snaggs
