Newby to Active X question

hi all, my custom control is invisible at runtime and contains a form that is showed when a method is called, the form has an ok and cancel buttons plus a couple of text boxes, (its a custom "login" form).
the thing is, dont know how to pass the ok button click event (on the form) back to the control itself so it can evaluate the user id and password.
if i make a public sub on the control, and then call it from the form´s click event it works, but then this sub also shows up as a method for the control itself! and of course i dont want this happening since its an "internal" sub. and if i make the sub private, then the form dont see it!
please help

oops!! even if i make the sub public, it doesnt work!

You should raise u'r own events on the ok and cancel click event.
This way u can interact with u'r usercontrol.

In the usercontrol add this:

VB Code:

Public Event OkClick (sPass as String, sUserID as String)

in the click event of the OK button u add this

VB Code:

RaiseEvent txtPass, txtUserID

Now in u'r main project, u will have a new event called OkClick when u select u'r usercontrol.

Add the code needed to check the username and password.

If u have further questions just ask :)

Thanks Peet , i fixed it by placing the event and raising it on the form, then simply respond to it on the user control.

thanks for your answer :)
