Passing a form to an ActiveX EXE

[owennib]

Hi,

I'm trying to open up a form as an ActiveX EXE (or DLL) as an MDIChild - the only way I can think to do this, is to pass in the form as a reference to the Show Form sub - and then set it as the parent when you open the ActX form:
- Form1.Show False, Parent
Unfortunately - when I try to do this - it won't allow me to pass in a Form object... any ideas?

Cheers

Owen

Try using the generic data type 'Object' instead of the type 'Form'.

Thanks for your prompt reply,

I've already tried using an Object - it passes in ok - but fails when you try to set it as the parent when showing the form... is there any way to convert an object into a form (a bit like CInt(i) etc)?

Cheers

Post your code for setting the parent.
