That sounds like something you'd want to do
with DHTML. If the controls have ID attributes
you can do it that way:

AXObj = WB.Document.all.item("Name1")

If not, you can go through the all collection:

For i = 0 to WB.Document.all.Length - 1
if WB.Document.all(i).tagname = "OBJECT" then
'-- send the message.

Maybe you could explain it more. Are you sure
you know exactly what it is that you want to do?

There's no such thing as an "applicationmodule" so I
assume you mean an ActiveX control. In that case, it's
in the webpage as an object and can be accesses
through DHTML by getting the document object. You can
then access the COM properties and methods of the
control that way. (If you want to send an API message then why
not just build that into the COM interface? That's what ActiveX
is for.)

Also, I notice that you also posted to a dotnet group.
If you're using "VB.Net":
This is a VB group, as are most of the groups that you
posted to. VB has very little in common with .Net. They are
both "VB" only inside the strange confines of the Microsoft
marketing dept.
Most of the people here don't use .Net. If you're using .Net
then you should just post to those newsgroups. The answers
here will probably not be relevant for you.

Hello,

Thanks again for the reply . This "problem" that I have is in VB6 , not
in Dot.Net . I also do programming in Dot.Net but for this issue that is
not the case .

I understand what you are trying to say (use the COM properties using
the HTML DOM ) . But because the combination html/vbscript/activeX is
something new to me I had not thought about that .

I think that it would be better (as you said) to call a
function/propertie instead of sending a windows-message to each of the
controls ( ActiveX / OCX ) . This solution would be easier , this
because I should not subclass my OCX .

Because this new feature that I have to empliment is something for the
future I can't try it immediatly .

Thanks for your respond I will reply when I have something new to ask .

Bye,

Filip W.
