Hi
I have added a user control to my VB6 project. This user control is also the startup for my project. Now I have some methods in the user control which I would like to be access from the modules.

Is there a way to access the methods of a user control from a module?

I tried :

//Name of user control is ConfigMgr

//The following code is in the Module
Public Function CalVa()

Dim cfgmgr

Set cfgmgr = new Configmgr //Error


End Function

The error is it says that "User-defined type not defined"

I am not sure where I am wrong. If someone could please help me solve this problem, it will be great.

VB6 is rubbish, out dated, unsupported, obsolete and not used anywhere worth being. As you're learning, why not learn a real language?

That's a fair point, unbiasedly made ;)

User controls are normally added to a form, or another user control, at design time. AFAIK at runtime it needs to be on a form to be instantiated.
