Returns or sets a value determining if a control can be shared with other applications. The Public property is read/write at the control’s authoring time, and not available at the control’s run time.
Settings
The settings for Public are:
| Setting | Description |
| True | The control can be shared with other applications. This is the default for ActiveX Control project types. |
| False | The control cannot be shared with other applications. When the control is contained in an ActiveX Control project, the control cannot be seen outside of the ActiveX Control project. This means that other controls or other forms in the project can use the control, but outside applications cannot. This is the only valid value for project types other than ActiveX Control. |
