Visual Basic 5.0 allows you to use UserControls to create ActiveX controls in your projects. The following code snippet does two things: It gets a reference to the form in which a UserControl is placed, and it gets a reference to that control on the form. by David Mendlen

Dim PControl As Object
Dim MyControl As Control
Dim AControl As Object
'Get my UserControl
For Each AControl In ParentControls
If AControl.Name = Ambient.DisplayName Then
Set MyControl = AControl
Exit For
End If
Next
'Get the Form UserControl is on
Set PControl = ParentControls.Item(1).Parent
While Not (TypeOf PControl Is Form) Set PControl = PControl.Parent
Wend
