Hello,

I am trying to create an ActiveX Control that has a custom
property.  I want this property to be able to be set like the
other ambient properties from the HTML page using the
<PARAM> tags.  I would appreciate any help on creating
such a control that could read a custom property set by the HTML
page in VB5.

My thinking was... In the HTML
==================================
<object...>
    <PARAM NAME="CustomProperty" VALUE="xyz">
</object>

And in the VB Code...
==================================
Public CustomProperty As String

Private Sub UserControl_Click()
    UserControl.txtTest.Text = UserControl.CustomProperty
End Sub

Thus hopefully setting the textbox on the ActiveX Control = "xyz"

I am new to VB shooting in the dark... Help Greatly Appreciated!

Thank You,
Damon Regan

Hello Damon,

Read about property Get/Let and Set in VB help. They are easy to understand
and use and will to exactly what you are lookin for.

The fastest way to get started is to use the ActiveX Control Interface
Wizard from VB's add-in menu.
It's not that controls are terribly difficult, it's just that there is a lot
you can do with them. And, there are little details you might miss by just
trying it out on your own at first.
The wizard walks you right through setting up all your properties and
methods.
Just make sure you have a Usercontrol in your project and that if you are
using any constituant controls (controls inside you control) they are on the
form before you strat the wizard.
