Event handling for dynamic array of controls

Question

I found this link to handle events for a dynamically created control in vb6 and I tried to use this for my code, but to no avail.

Option Explicit
Private WithEvents grid(0 To 23, 0 To 23) As Frame
How can I get the same functionality for this array of controls?

Answer 1

You can't.

You can either use control arrays where you Load new indexes (instances) of your control or write a custom wrapper class that forwards the events through callback methods.

For second option:

• you have a class cFrameExt that sinks Frame's events
• on event it calls a callback method on a "parent" object
  • passing me as first parameter
• "parent" substitutes me with an interger index and raises an event

Most problematic is cyclic references this scheme is usually implemented with.
