Hello,

I always have problems in opening ActiveX projects or projects something with OCX.  Can anyone in this forum be a help in telling me the steps I need to follow - to open, (re)compile ActiveX (OCX) stuff.  Do I need to open the Standard.exe or ActiveX while launching Visual Basic 6 ? 

With regards,

Comet

 

 

You don't need to do anything just open the project.vbp. All the ActiveX controls, References, Forms, Class Modules, Modules, User controls, type of exe etc are listed in there. Use NotePad and open one for a look.

If you try to open a project where the ocx isn't registered then you'll have a problem.

Thanks Keith, how can I register the ocx ? I have never tried that.

You can do it with Regsvr32.exe in the Windows\System folder. Use Run:

Regsvr32.exe c:\ocx location\ocxfile.ocx

You will get a message DllRegisterSever in c:\ocx location\ocxfile.ocx if its successful.

Or you can download ActiveX Manager v1.4 from http://www.4dev.com/
