Creating Classes & ActiveX Controls

Hiding Properties at Design Time

In some cases, such as the TextRTF property of the RichTextBox control, you do not want the property to be displayed at design time. To do this, select Procedure Attributes on the Tools menu. Select the property from the Name drop down, click Advanced, and check the Don't show in Property Browser check box. Now, the property will not be displayed at design time.

    I am fairly new at coding in VB and love diving in.  I am working on a project on reading binary files, parsing bit data information and creating a display from some function of bits.  The first couple of words will tell me how to set up a window and other parameters.  Since my first run at creating this program, I have since discovered the use of classes as separate modules.  I'm trying to create a couple of classes, one for setting of the parameters and the other for program settings.  Using the Property of Let & Get has worked great and makes the management of what I am doing easier.  But I have a couple of questions regarding of how to try to pass arrays like I would the other values.  
     For example, recalling a list of last opened file names and making them available to other modules, I had wanted to try to put it in a class like the other properties, but when I don't know if and how many how do I do that?
