You won't use createobject, you'd DIM Object WithEvents, then Set x = New Object. See the help file on withevents for good examples.
That isn't called subclassing however, but if it accomplishes your goals thats all that matters.

BTW, avoid using CreateObject(), since the compiler cannot bind the object at compile time (this is called late binding). When you
DIM the object, the compiler can optimize objects for speed many times more than late binding.

>If an object is created in a class using createobject() how can I add custom code to respond to events. For example the SendComplete event of the WinSock control. I want to create an instance of the winsock control in my class using createobject("MSWinsock.Winsock"). The I want to write a piece of code that runs when the SendComplete event fires. Is this possible with VB?
