VB6 ActiveX DLL - Public Declare Lib

I have a line of code I need to compile into a (ActiveX) DLL in VB6, unfortunately I am always greeted with a, "Declare statements not allowed as public members of object modules".

The line looks like this:

Public Declare Sub Example Lib "kernel32"

Is there any work around? I saw somewhere you can do this with, Property Set, or Property Let. I'm just not sure how. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Solution

  • See if this works for you:

    Private Declare Sub Example Lib "kernel32"

Public Sub CallExample() 
   Call Example
End Sub
