ActiveX EXE

[andrew]

I have a class named Messenger. Other projects can create instances of Messenger
then use it's public methods like init(), display() and send(). This works
fine.

However, I want Messenger to be able to execute on it's own. I have made
the project an ActiveX EXE. Everything still works when another project
instanciates Messenger. How do I define the order of methods that I want
to run if Messenger is executed by itself?

Hi
Since its an ActiveX exe what u can do is add one module to your Exe add
the Public Sub Main() routine in it & in the routine check whether your Exe
is run standalone or instanciated by a client by using the following code:
*
Public Sub Main()
If app.startmode = vbStandAlone Then
'standalone app
End If
End Sub
*
You'll also have to set the Project Properties to make Sub Main your starting
point.
