please help with user control

[Gandor]

I created a simple user control with a richtextbox in it

now how on earth do i get the control to act like a richtextbox and let me open a file in it?

You need to add a Public Sub to the userControl which maps to the Richtextbox

eg. in the usercontrol:

Public Sub LoadFile(strFile As String)
  RichTextBox1.LoadFile strFile
End Sub

then in the client program:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
UserControl11.LoadFile "C:\test.rtf"
End Sub

Does this help?
