Im working on a ocx, it uses subclass. since you can't call the events from
a standar module so i put a friend sub inside the usercontrol to do the
trick but hte problem is that I can't call the sub from the module, how can
I do this?

thanks

Friend functions will only allow other modules to call it if it is in the
same project.  Use the Public statement to expose it as a method.

Declare a public variable in your standard module like this:

Dim MyCtl as MyCtlName 'Replace MyCtlName with whatever your userControl is

Then, in your UserControl_Initialize event, do this:

Set MyCtl = Me

Then, whenever you want to call a function of your usercontrol from your
standard module, just call
MyCtl.MyFunction 'replace MyFunction with whatever the function is

For a great example of a subclass control (no cost) check out

Good Luck,

thanks, it did the trick
