Intellisense and ActiveX Controls

I am trying to familiarize myself with a new ActiveX control. If I
place the control on the form and then reference it via code, the
Intellisense does not work. However, if I explicitly declare the
control in code, then the Intellisense works.

The name of the control on the form is dbGrid1. Why can't I do
something like the following?

Dim dbGrid1Other as AnotherActiveXC ontrol
set dbGrid1Other = dbGrid1
dbGrid1Other.so meProperties = xyz

In other words, why can't I explicitly declare a reference as the same
type of the control on the form to utilize the Intellisense? If I try
to set dbGrid1Other = dbGrid1, the compiler complains that this is a
type mismatch. Is there any way to capture the reference to dbGrid1
to accomplish what I am trying to do? Or is there a completely easier
way to accomplish this? Thanks.

Vincent

I have an Activex Control created in VB6, which, displays no problem on any machine I have, but, on some machines of others, it does not.

I just downloaded a activex control that was written in C# and tried to view it on my PDA's Internet Explorer. At my regular PC it displayed just fine, but nothing showed up on the pda.

Our application is primarily VB6, however we are migrating toward .NET and a newer architecture. For the time being though, we're stuck with a hybrid approach with our ActiveX client application accessing .NET Web Services provided by the new server-side application. We like the benefits of Intellisense in the IDE. Visual Studio .NET will provide Intellisense for a .NET client which references and accesses a Web Service. Unfortunately...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
