Buttons on activeX control

[Bananafish]

I apreciate that this is probably a very basic question - but if I want to design an activeX control that has buttons on it - how can I make the buttons work when the control is used on a form.

at the moment clicking on them doesnt do anything...

In the usercontrol code, u raise an event when a button is clicked, then u can put u'r code in that event on the form.

If that does not make sence, please let me know, and i can create a sample for u

Thanks for that - I'll give it a try

ok,
let me know how it goes

That worked fine - thanks for your help

I am however experiencing another problem with the activex control, in that when I add the ocx to my form and change the properties at design time, they always revert back to the default properties...

any ideas?

u have to use property bags in order to save the settings I think.

Tip:

In the add-in manager, load the 'VB6 ActiveX Ctrl Interface Wizard'
Then use this wizard to create a sample ocx. This way u can see how the property bag and the PropertyChanged Method is beeing used.

hope that will help u getting started.
