Creating Child forms into MDI from DLL (in-process)

[Johnyo]

Just wondering if there was a way to bring forms created from an activeX DLL
into an MDI and make them child forms of that MDI?

[Dennis Nagel]

If you have a form in the project you can set that form = to any other form.

set form1 = axdllProject.SplashForm

at that point form1 when shown will be a copy
of the splash form (in reality it IS the same form.

I don't believe that the New keyword will create a unique instance of that
form.

Johnyo -

You can't do it directly. However, there was recently a VBPJ article by Dan
Appleman in which he loads ActiveX controls containing the entire GUI from
another (OCX) project onto instances of a child MDI form.
