Windowless ActiveX Control

I think the best way is to include a form in you're project, set this as the startup object of your activeX control project and have it of no size (height = 0 , width = 0) in this form, add some event's exactly the same as the VB mouse events and raise these event's in the event handlers

eg

Code:

---


Event Click()

Private Sub Form1_Click()
RaiseEvent Click
End Sub

---

in your control declare a variable like so

Code:

---

Dim WithEvents frmCaptureTarget As Form1

---

whenever you need to set the capture, set it to the form and in the control you want to handle the events in

Code:

---

Set frmCaptureTarget = Form1

---

this will start your form variable raising events like te form would. when you've finished with the capture

Code:

---

set frmCaptureTarget = Nothing

---

you might want to move the form to the top left of your capturing control as well to save you converting tha mouse coords, although you should really do the conversion yourself.

hope this helps.
