Sub New is protected in VB6 OXC

[jjjamie]

Hi,

 

I am trying to use a VB6 OCX file in .NET but when I try to create the object in .NET it says:

 

'Private Sub New()' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Private'

 

The first thing I checked in the VB6 file was whether there was a Private Sub New, but there was no Sub New at all. I then tried adding a Sub New, but VB wouldn't accept the line.

 

Can anyone help me as to what to do?

 

Thanks,

 

Jamie

i dont know what u are trying to do but u could do:

 

Public Sub New()

 

i duno if that will work for what u are doing or if u have tried it already.

I've tried that. VB6 doesn't understand it. I have also tried:

 

 

Public Sub Class_Initialize()

 

End Sub

 

I've no idea at all what to do!!! :confused:

How do I add a Sub New to a OCX component so that I can initialise it in .NET?! :-\

COM components don't have constructors. You'd be best off making your own Initialize method or something on the control.
