help !!

1:

how can i find the hwnd of an usercontrol from a bas module within
the same project ? in the usercontrol i can use "UserControl.hwnd",
but vb doesn't support using the usercontrol's name in a module,
like :

'--- module cut ---
dim i as long
i = usercontrol1.hwnd
'--- cut end ---

2:

how do i call an sub in a usercontrol from an module ?
(pretty much the same as 1...)

'--- module cut ---
call usercontrol1.ProcMsg
'--- cut end ---

********************************************************************

does anybody understand my problem ?? does anybody know how to help ?

thanx in advance..

What you're trying to do is to get a property or invoke a method of an
object without instantiating it first. UserControl1 is the _type_ of
object, not an instance of it.

What the .BAS code needs is a reference to an instance of the
UserControl to be passed into it.

You can see this if you change your code to

dim i as long
dim uc as usercontrol1

set uc = new usercontrol1
i = uc.hwnd

call uc.ProcMsg

(This isn't necessarily what you want to do - it's only an illustration
of the principle).
