OCX developement question..

[softwareguy74]

Okay, here's a simple one for you professionals out there..

I'm learning how to create ocx controls and I need to learn a simple procedure.

I have a program named Program.exe. It consists of a form named Form1 with the following controls:

Command1 (button)
Text1 (button)

I also have an ocx control named Program.ocx.

It has a public function named HelloWorld.

What I want to be able to do is to hit the button and call the ocx which will in turn populate the text box with "Hello World!".

What would I put in the HelloWorld function in the ocx control in order to fill the text box with "Hello World!" from the calling program?

I tried:

Text1 = "Hello World!"

But that doesn't seem to do anything...

I understand how to call the function from within the program, I just don't know how to get the ocx function to fill the text box..

Any help would be appreciated..

I recently had the same question:

and dont forget to add the ocx to your program

Just pass the TextBox through the sub.

Code for a UserControl

Public Sub HelloWorld(obj As Object)
    If TypeOf obj Is TextBox Then obj.Text = "Hello Wordl"
End Sub

Code for a Form.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MyControl1.HelloWorld Text1
End Sub
