The error is telling you that form1 does not have a property called hWnd. Do you have a field or variable named hWnd in your form1?

'vb 6 version
Field.hWnd


i'm using directx and from what i was told, hWnd is a property that is set by either windows itself or VB that directx needs to access, it's a property that's set outside the code that i type.

i need to know what the vb 2005 equivalent is to this, it is essential to my prog.
