Right now i am atmpting to fire an event from within an object in the control(as you know the new control is defined by the objects within it, not vice versa), but what i got going is, a CEvent is defined on topside(the somethingctrl.cpp) and the server object below it has a pointer to that Cevent, then the CEvent is triggered, and then a Thread above the control waiting for the event, post a custom message to the Control, which in turn fires the event(only prob is i get a Invalid page fault when it atempts to post a message i am moving all the codes into a project that doesnt use &quot;invisible at runtime&quot; in hope that this invisiblity is disableing it from using a hWnd). Tho i think it would be simple enough if ic an manage to make a function pointer to the ActiveX event function, cept<br>
you could do void(Class::*theptr)(parameters), only prob is that the server object under the control wouldnt know what &quot;class&quot; is.<br>
any ideas on this big brain twister, the point is, i want to fire an event from the threads under the control(handled by the member objects).<br>
if i made the top control loop waiting for the event, then i'd end up locking VB up when the VB programmers try to use it, i'd make them check for a variable, but they insist they want a raised event.<br>
