<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I've written a control which is invisible at runtime.<br />
<br />
The control itself has nothing but a label on it.<br />
<br />
The user interface, which can be invoked by the parent application, consists of two forms within the control.<br />
<br />
I need to be able to fire events from code on one of those forms, and to access the control's custom properties. To do this I need to reference the control itself from a constituent form - how is this done?<br />
<br />
TIA

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
