How to handle events of dynamically created ActiveX control (VB6)

[Lela]

I have user control (ActiveX) with custom events. In the application's main
form controls are created an destroyed dynamically in run time.
How can I handle control's events when I can not see controls (and it's events/methods)
in drop down lists of the form's code window.

Hi,

The most convenient way is to 'plant a seed' of every control that may be
created during runtime. Those 'seeds' that should be invisible, should have
an index=0 and any runtime-created clone (use Load/Unload) gets the next
availible index-number. The events are there when coding and all you have
to do is to keep track of the runtime-created control's index-number. And
you don't need to bother about license-keys if the control demands it to
load(!)

However it is possible to create them completely from scratch and catch the
events. Look on the samples on VB's setup disk. You will find one sample
there that creates some controls this way, controls that are defined in an
Access DB(!)

Still I strongly recommend the first method using seeds... (Why complicate
things if there is a simple way?)
