Assign object to running windows program

[AP]

Hello, I am having trouble trying to assign an object to a running program
in windows in VB.NET
A COM component class with the same name as the windows program is avaliable
to use
in VB.NET.
The component doesnt have an actual icon that you can drag on to a form, you
can only access the class.
Is there anyway to create an instance of this class and assign it to a
running instance within a running windows program?
Do I need to FindWindow() API call to assign the window to my object?
Or do I need to do something completly different like create a COM program.
Hope this is not too confusing.

Hope someone can help

I assume that because this are mostly questions answered by Herfried and
Arming.

I assume that the only thing you have to do is place a reference with

Project-> add reference -> browse -> add -> Ok

Imports .......

I hope this helps, although this is not really my area that I like to give
answer for.

Hi, Thanks for replying. I have done what you said but I still cant get it
to work
I have tried the following

Dim Game As Object
Game = CreateObject("G ameLib")

I have added a reference for GameLib but it will not assign the object, it
just comes up with an exception all the time.

Hope you can help

AP,

As I said this is not my teritorium, however did you use the object browser
after that you had set it in your resources to see what public members it
has?
