How to reference the UserControl inside same project

[granni]

I am doing an ActiveX, some of the code i need to put in a basic module and a class, these are all in the same project

But i cannot access the UserControl object in inside the module and class

In a normal project to get a Form in a class, i just use the Form's name, but in this ActiveX project it seems i cannot do so, can anyone help? In Christ

If I understand correctly you want to call your active-x from a class module. You can't do it directly, but you can use Withevents in your class. In your class you create a public event in the General declarations section e.g.

Public Event UpdateParentNecessary(ByVal Why As String)

In your active-x you create an instance of you class also in the general declarations section, with use of the Withevent statement. Lets say your class is called MyClass

Private WithEvents m_oMyClass As MyClass

Now you can click on the dropdownbox where it says "(General)" and you will see m_oMyClass in the list. Clicking it will create:

Private Sub m_oMyClass_UpdateParentNecessary(ByVal Why As String)
End Sub

In your class every time you have to do something in your active-x, you can use the:

RaiseEvent UpdateParentNecessary("message")

And you can evalute 'Why' in your active-x and respond accordingly.

Hope it helps!

Thanks firstly for the help, but there is a slight problem, i am using a collection of the Class u mention, u see i bind one Class to each control on the UserControl.

Unless i can declare an array withevents, i cant go on this road In Christ
