Just out of curiosity:

I am using the code below and noticed that in the collection the
function exposing the IUnknown is called [_NewEnum]
It ssems not to be possible to use names like [_NewEnum]
for userdefined functions. Or does anyone know how to do this?

thx

Peter

Public Property Get Items( _
         ) As IUnknown

     'Attribute Items.VB_UserMemId = -4
     'Attribute Items.VB_MemberFlags = "40"

     ' this property allows you to enumerate
     ' this collection with the For...Each syntax
     Set Items= m_colItems.[_NewEnum]

End Property

First off, why would you want to? It certainly makes the code less
readable. If you have a good reason for doing so, you can alter the
typelib VB produces for a component to create hidden methods and such.
For more info, you would probably be best to consult Matt Curland's
Advanced VB6 book (www.powervb.com).
