Okay, almost there.

The final step, encpulation.

WITH pForm
	.NewObject('myContainer','interopt','gen')
	.myContainer.visible=.T.
	.myContainer.top=15
	.myContainer.left=15
ENDWITH

works great but leaves my class definition outside my DLL

I have the class library gen in my project d1

I tried

	.NewObject('myContainer','interopt','d1.dll')

but alas it errors

How do I reference an object within a class library within my dll or is it that I have not properly included the class definition within my DLL???
