Passing ActiveX control to a DLL as parameter

[Aqeel]

whenever I try to pass a treeview or other activeX control to a class method in an ActiveX DLL Project, I get an error message. What's the reason and what's the solution.

Are you passing it ByRef or ByVal??

[Aqeel]

i'm passing it byref

[Jimbob]

that blows my theory out of the water then!

what's th error message?

[Aqeel]

message is:

----------
Compiler Error:
Private Object Modules cannot be used in public object modules as parameters or return types for public procedures as public data members or as fields of public user defined types.
