VB6 IDE VBE Object referenceI want to set an object variable to the current instance of the VBProject in
VB6. It should look something like "Set VBI = VBIDE.VBE.VBProjects(1)". In Excel 2000 this can be done simply by "Set VBI = Application.VBE.VBProjects(1)" or "Set VBI = Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject" How do I do this in the VB6 IDE? I could find no trace on the web of sample code to access this object straghtforwardly. I do not want to connect an add-in, and use the VBInst object generated by _OnConnection as my entry point. That seems pointlessly circuitous, given how easy it is in Excel VBA.

AFAIK there's no way to get a direct reference to the IDE from within a VB project except via the add-in route. -- Reply to the group so all can participate VB.Net: "Fool me once..." Thanks, Bob.
Since all I want to do is install and register the VB6 Mouse Wheel Fix automatically, and since the VBA routine I wrote in Excel to do it seems to register the dll for the VB6 IDE as well, I guess I should just run the Excel code, and then open the VB6 Add-In Manager and check the Load on Startup box. And I was going to have such fun watching it happen with a single click...

How To Create a Basic Add-in Using VB5 or VB6 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;189468 Why do you need this info? You can use the App object to get the title/name of your project at any time. App.Title App.EXEName fwiw, there's a ton of built in stuff in Excel/Access that you don't get "out of the box" with VB. That can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. If VB had everything but the kitchen sink, we'd have been distributing .Net Framework sized packages back in the floppy days (I can't even imagine <g>) -- Ken Halter - MS-MVP-VB - http://www.vbsight.com DLL Hell problems?
