Sorry, my question is probably unclear I am a novice when it comes to this class stuff. Let me try again. I have created a class based on a container control - name is minical. Inside the container I have the MS calendar and 2 command buttons. In the click event of each command button I want to issue either the nextmonth or previousmonth method of the calendar. My confusion is how to issue this command. If I were putting these controls on a form I would write:

thisform.calendar1.nextmonth()
or
thisform.calendar1.previousmonth()

How can I do this in the class?

Thans for the response.
