Desperately seeking help on activex

Hi

I have written a control that is basically a text box with a double click event. This event calls a form (which is inside the activex project) The form contains a numeric keypad, when the enter key is pressed I want the value stored in keypad1.output to be passed back for display in the text box. Can this be done? and if so I would be greatful of your help.

Thanks

No one stops you from doing this.

You can do it using the following code in the Text Boxes double click event.

VB Code:

txtBox.Text = frmKeyPad.GetOutPut

What? That form doesn't have a GetOutPut Function? Well, you have to add that then. Here is the function:

VB Code:

'Add a Form Level boolean variable called Cancelled
Public Function GetOutPut() as Integer 'Or whatever data type you need
    Cancelled = False
    Me.Show vbModal
    If Not Cancelled Then
        GetOutPut =  Me.OutPut     'I am assuming you have the OutPut property populated properly
    End If
End Function
 
'The code for the Ok button's click Event
Private Sub cmdOk_Click()
    Unload Me
End Sub
 
'Code for the Cancel button's click Event
Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
    Cancelled = True
    Unload Me
End Sub

Does it look it won't work this way? Why not give it a try? Don't forget to adapt the code.

Cheers.
