DragDrop with Custom made ActiveX Control.

Hello,
I can program a VB control to drag and drop in run-time. This uses the form's DragDrop() event and the controls MouseDown() event.

I have created a UserControl and saved it as .ocx file. I bring this custom control into another project. When I try same technique above for drag drop operation I notice that my custom made control has only 5 events: dragdrop, dragover, gotfocus, lostfocus and validate. I do not have the needed MouseDown() event.

How do I:
1) Add MouseDown event to my ActiveX control so it shows up as MouseDown when I reference it in other programs? OR
2) Is there another technique then what I stated?

I know that when I create ActiveX Control, the UserControl has a MouseDown event, but this does not show up in the final .ocx.
I am know to ActiveX programming.

Thanks,

Hi,
There were actually two problems.

1) I created simple user control with text box, added

Public Event MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

Then I added RaiseEvent RaiseEvent MouseDown(Button, Shift, X, Y) inside the text1_mousedown event. So... I was able to drag and drop this user control in the other program. Nice!

2) My user control is a pneumatic cylinder with a moveable piston and two electrical reed switches. I used the Shape control to build these. However, if you look at properties, I noticed that there were no drag properties related to Shapes. Aarrgg!

So, I placed the cylinder (with all shapes), into a Image control. Image control does have Drag property.

Problem solved.
