ActiveX & Data controls

Question:
I Want to make my own data control navigator bar in a single OCX. My question is: How can i get the DataSource property to work.

It needs to give me a list of all availables Data controls on the form and let me pick one of them in the property list.Also it needs to send the command to that Data control. Eg: Data1.Recordset.MoveNext.

Answer:
You can loop through the controls in the Controls collection of the Form.Use the TypeOf function to build a line like this:

If TypeOf(loopVar) Is DataControl Then   add it to the list
Use the class name of the Data control, which is the text next to the namein the Properties window.
