Help Me...Listing controls in a form with activex control!

I want to enumerate all of the controls on a form containing my activex control and list them in the property page of my control.

ARRRGGGHHH!!! Can't quite figure it out.

TIA!

If you want to do it from an activex. You have to pass the form and receive type will be form and then do the following.

me would be the form passed over.

VB Code:

Dim sControls As Control
    For Each sControls In Me.Controls
        List1.AddItem sControls.Name
    Next

Code is really Sloppy but here is the control

Control:

VB Code:

Public Function EnumControls(frm As Form) As String()
    Dim sControls As Control
    Dim iControlCount As Integer
    iControlCount = 0
    Dim sArr() As String
    
    For Each sControls In frm.Controls
        ReDim Preserve sArr(iControlCount)
        sArr(iControlCount) = sControls.Name
        
        iControlCount = iControlCount + 1
    Next
    
    EnumControls = sArr
End Function

Form:

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim sControlArr() As String
    
    sControlArr = UserControl11.EnumControls(Me)
        
    For i = 0 To UBound(sControlArr)
        List1.AddItem sControlArr(i)
    Next
End Sub

Is there anyway the activex control can get the controls names without the form helping (or user)?

I do not get when you say the names are you talking about what you are naming them. That is the names of them. If you wan to find out what type they are you have to create a case select and use the TypeOf keyword.
