Hi All, I'm new to VB and am involved in a VB3 to VB5 Upgrade. My question is this : The existing VB3 application subclasses word and keeps it connected to the application by capturing the handle of the active word window and associating it with a picture box on the form as follows:

Set wdBasic = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
wdBasic.AppMaximize

WordHnd = GetActiveWindow()
frmAgreement.sbcWord.HwndParam = WordHnd

.....sbcWord is the picturebox name, VB5 is objecting to HwndParam which I believe was valid in VB3. The nearest property in VB5 for a picturebox is hwnd, however, this is a read-only property and I can't assign a value to it. I'm trying to find out is how is it possible to keep word associated with my application. ( I had hoped it was simply a matter of changing a property name on the picturebox).

What does the HwndParam property (in relation to a picturebox) do in VB3?

Does the code above really subclass the active word window?

Thanks,
Seamus
