please help with user control

[Gandor]

I created a simple user control with a richtextbox in it

now how on earth do i get the control to act like a richtextbox and let me open a file in it?

You need to add a Public Sub to the userControl which maps to the Richtextbox

eg. in the usercontrol:


Public Sub LoadFile(strFile As String)
RichTextBox1.LoadFile strFile
End Sub



then in the client program:


Private Sub Command1_Click()
UserControl11.LoadFile "C:\test.rtf"
End Sub



Does this help?
