Multiple instance of an activeX EXE

this will also take care of the unloading problem.  each exe will only unload the instance of the active x exe they have and not all of them

Hi,

The reason it unloads it probably because you have your class set to multiuse. Set it to 3-singleuse, then each instance will use a separate class.

Zaphod.

You can do this with a connector class:
----------------------------------------
VERSION 1.0 CLASS
BEGIN
  MultiUse = -1  'True
  Persistable = 0  'NotPersistable
  DataBindingBehavior = 0  'vbNone
  DataSourceBehavior  = 0  'vbNone
  MTSTransactionMode  = 0  'NotAnMTSObject
END
Attribute VB_Name = "Connector"
Attribute VB_GlobalNameSpace = False
Attribute VB_Creatable = True
Attribute VB_PredeclaredId = False
Attribute VB_Exposed = True
Attribute VB_Ext_KEY = "SavedWithClassBuilder6" ,"Yes"
Attribute VB_Ext_KEY = "Member0" ,"RequestHandler"
Attribute VB_Ext_KEY = "Top_Level" ,"Yes"

Option Explicit

Public Property Get RequestHandler() As RequestHandler
  Set RequestHandler = gRequestHandler
End Property

Private Sub Class_Initialize()
  If gRequestHandler Is Nothing Then
    Set gRequestHandler = New RequestHandler
  End If
   
  clientCounter = clientCounter + 1
End Sub

Private Sub Class_Terminate()
  clientCounter = clientCounter - 1
  If clientCounter = 0 Then
    Set gRequestHandler = Nothing
  End If
End Sub

This you must add to your ActiveX EXE in a global
code modul:
Public gRequestHandler As RequestHandler

The object gRequestHandler guaranties that only one
instance of your AxtiveX exe is running at the same time.
The client must create a connector object, to access
the your ActiveX class with:
Set ClientActiveXRef = ClientConnector.RequestHandler

Therefore the ActiveX Exe is unloaded when the last
connector object is released ...
The idea for this is form microsoft ...
