[AccessD] Trapping Events In A Class (custom events as well as built-in)

Having worked through the material on Shamil's site in 2000,
I recall that the new class had to have these elements:

Private WithEvents Form As Access.Form
Private mcolControls As New Collection
Private mobjSelfRef As Object

and then all of the other controls and such.

It seems like "Private mobjSelfRef As Object" was critical for some reason?
Or am I remembering incorrectly?

And I do it differntly still.  My class accepts a form as an argument in
it's init routine, which is called from the form.  The form declares a
variable mFrm as New clsForm and then instantiates the variable  like this:

mFrm.init Me

We all seem to approach it from a slightly different angle depending on what
we want to do.
