Refering to UserControl from Form

This may or may not be a simple question to answer. I have created an activex control that does instant messaging using winsock controls placed on the UserControl. I have also added several other standard forms to the activex control to allow users to enter messages, choose files to send, etc.

My problem is that when I show a form to enter a message, I then need to refer back to the UserControl to send it using the Winsock controls.

The simple question...... If you have an ActiveX Control with a standard form, can you refer to the UserControl object or other controls placed on it from the standard form?

Yes you can Crazed Wolfverine

Once your usercontrol is embedded on your form, it becomes part of your form and you can set a reference to it just like any other control

The usercontrol object should appear as part of your intellisense drop-down list and also in your Object Browser as part of your project.
