When VB5 acts as the container to my ActiveX control, properties
changing via the ActiveX's property dialog are not reflected in the
VB properties window until you manually cause a
refresh by picking another control and going back again.

I have tested a couple of Microsoft controls and these update without
user intervention (such as the flexigrid).

I have checked the help but cannot see what to do, FireViewChange()
in ATL seems to work with a different example, but I am working with
COleControl and Refresh() does not work.

Any ideas how I can get this working?

Thanks In Advance,
MSG.

Take a look at ActiveX control FAQ at www.widgetware.com . I think you might
find it there.. I think you need to call BoundPropertyChanged () with the
dispid.
