Share variables or properties of an object between programs
In the .BAS module Dim the variables as Private
Then Call a procedure from the exposed class(es) to get/set these
variables.
You could simply Dim the variables as Public and access them from the
exposed Class(es) - but IMO that is not really good practice.
BTW the exposed Class's Instancing Property needs to be set to 5 -
Multiuse
5 MultiUse. Allows other applications to create objects from the
class. One instance of your component can provide any number of
objects created in this fashion.
