It's been a long day and I can't seem to remember...

How can I call something like the Visible property inside a usercontrol from a module or form? My usercontrol is named HC.

Thanks

Do you mean something like this?

[code]
Form1.HC.Visible = False[/code]

Form1.HC.Visible = False[/code]

Oh, I mean when I'm creating an ocx from the usercontrol. So it won't be on the form/module in the usercontrol's project. I've found that HC.Visible = True doesn't seem to do anything. I've also tried usercontrol.Visible, same with usercontrol1.Visible...

Oops. ::)

Workaround
To workaround this problem, you can have the UserControl pass a reference to itself on the Form by a procedure. The following steps illustrate this solution.

1.) Create an ActiveX Control project.
2.) Click Add Form on the Project menu to add a form to the project.
3.) Add the following code to the UserControl:

Public CtlProp As String 'user created property

Private Sub UserControl_Click()
CtlProp = "passed value" 'set the property
Load Form1
Call Form1.ControlRef(Me) 'pass the reference before showing
Form1.Show
End Sub

Private Sub UserControl_Initialize()
BackColor = vbRed
End Sub

                  
Add the following code to the Form:
Dim cCtl As UserControl1

Private Sub Form_Activate()
MsgBox cCtl.CtlProp 'this works fine now
End Sub

Sub ControlRef(cC As UserControl1)
Set cCtl = cC
End Sub

Ah, yes. Exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks :)

Well, just a quick question. One of my main reasons for needing this is so I can use RaiseEvent from a form/module. Is there any way I can do this from a form/module instead of a usercontrol?
