Hello,

I've done quite a bit of VB6 programming but I'm new to ActiveX controls.
Let me try and explain what I'm doing:

I've written a User Control that performs an operation on a string and
displays the result.

I would like to pass a string to the user control from a text box on the
form. I don't want to have the text box on the ActiveX control.

Can anyone offer a suggestion about how I do this? I really am stuck.

Thanks,

Jon.

RaiseEvent

eg in the UserControl :

Public Event Notify( S As String )
....
RaiseEvent Notify( "Hullo Parent Form" )

Set up a Sub in your user control that gets the name of a textbox. Eg:

Public Sub TextStuff(New_Text as TextBox)
Dim T as String
T=New_Text.Text
etc...
End Sub
