Get the parent form of an activex control

[sudhanshu]

hi
I am new to creating ActiveX controls.
I am trying to create a control to minimize a form to the system tray
using windows API.
For this I need a reference to the form, my control is placed in.
How can i do this?
I tried exposing a property "ParentFrm" of type Form.


Public Property Let ParentForm(ByVa l vNewValue As Variant)
ParentFrm=vNewV alue
End Property

This gives an error: Invalid use of property.

I tried replacing variant by Form but this results in a compilation
error: Private object modules can not be used in public object modules
as parameter....

Please help.

HI..

UserControl Allready have Object refrence to Parent Object, you can use Parent object from ActiveX Control Class, For Example

[CODE=vb] Option Explicit
Private ShowState As Boolean
Private ParentObject As Object

Public Property Let HideForm(ByVal Hide As Boolean)
ShowState=Hide
Set ParentObject = UserControl.Par ent
ParentObject.Vi sible = Hide
End Property
[/CODE]

because you use Windows API Functions you will need HWND Property Value, you can use
[CODE=vb]
FormHwnd=UserCo ntrol.Parent.Hw nd
[/CODE]

Kind Regards
