An ActiveX control including a form.

You're right. A usercontrol is not a form. If you want to pass variables, then you must create properties and pass your information via the properties. If you want to have the control do something, then you must create methods for the control.

Here's an example:

Create a usercontrol project. Place a textbox on the control then place this code in it.

Option Explicit

Public Property Get Value() As Variant
    Value = Text1.Text
End Property

Public Property Let Value(ByVal vNewValue As Variant)
    Text1.Text = vNewValue
End Property

My variable in the user control in this case is a textbox, but it could be anything.

Now add a standard exe project. Place the usercontrol on it and a command button, then place this code in the usercontrol:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MsgBox UserControl11.Value
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    UserControl11.Value = "123-45-6789"
End Sub

So, to pass a variable, I call it's value property as I did in the form_load proecedure.

To retrieve a variable, I call it's value property as I did in the Command1_click event.

Thank you lmorris.

Before we can discuss further, I should point out again that my question is:
How to access a varible in usercontrol1 from form1 which is in the same project as the usercontrol1.
So, there is no exe project!

Cheers.

Hi lmorris,

I am sorry, but I got know the answer to day ;-(
I am going to reopen the quesion.
Thank you again.

Could you explain your problem again, and explain why lmorris' answer doesn't solve it?

I understood your question  exactly as lmorris did, and I think he gave you a good answer.

It doesn't matter that you form is in the same project or not. You still have to create properties and methods by which the form will communicate with your control. The same restrictions apply with class modules.

To lmorris:

I think i didn't explained my question clearly, sorry.
1. My form1 and usercontrol1 are in the same project, the one to design a control....so that was usercontrol1 instead of usercontrol11 :-)
2. I have also tried to access a public varible or a created property in usercontrol1 from form1 and without success. The reason has been point out by mikeP.

Cheers.

To alamo:

Thank you for your comment. Any further comments welcome :-)

I think i didn't explained my question clearly, sorry.

My form1 and usercontrol1 are in the same project, project1, the one to design a control. There was no instance of usercontrol1 yet....That is like declared a type but not yet doing dim the type. So, we can not assign any value to a member of the type :-)

Cheers.

To MikeP:

Thank you very much for your answer and help.
BTW you look don't like ( you said The bottom line is ... ) create a module for holding the public variable in my case. That is what I am doing :-(
