dumb question...

i am creating a new ocx. It includes the control (CompMon.ctl), a form (frmProperties.frm) and a module (modMain.bas). In the module I have a procedure that needs to change the property of an object in the control file (CompMon.ctl), how do I access / reference the embedded object.
This is what I expected to work:

UserControl.tmrPing.Enabled = False

or

CompMon.tmrPing.Enabled = False

Neither option works. Simply, how can reference the objects and properties of the control from within an included module?

Thanks

You'll need an object reference in the module. On the initialize of the control have it set the object reference to itself.

Some like:

In the standard module:

Public ctlRef As CompMon

In the Initialize event of the control:

Set ctlRef = Me

Now you should be able to access the control's properties through the object reference. IE: ctlRef.Enabled = True, etc.

See if that works for ya. I don't have a VB6 IDE in front of me to test it for ya.
