VC++ Dialog Designer - Oddness with ActiveX Controls

Nick Wilton

Hello, sorry for X-posting

Hope you are able to help with this one as its really urgent.

I have two unmanaged VC++ 7.0 projects which requre the use of ActiveX
controls within the dialog designer (not Winforms!). Both projects are
identical (except for the name) both in project settings and through file
compare. With one, I am able to right-click on the control within the dialog
designer, select 'Add Variable' and the 'Add Variable Wizard' will launch
correctly. The control will be identified correctly by the wizard (the
control check box will be active and checked, the control type will be OCX)
and I am able to add a control variable as per normal.

Unfortunately, in the second project when I attempt the same process the
wizard is unable to recognise the control and the control variable check box
is deactivated stopping further work.

As far as I am ble to tell, there no reason why one project should work and
the other should not.Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

I ad a similar problem a while back. I found that if I deleted the *.ncb,
*.opt and *.aps files ( which get regenerated the next time the project
opens), the problem goes away.

Closing a Modeless Dialog

VB ActiveX to VC 2005

I have a Visual Basic 6.0 ActiveX Control. It seems there is no way with VS 2005 to create a similar control for containers that host ActiverX controls, is this correct ? I'm thinking of converting the VB 6 project to VC in VS 2005. This seems to be a very different process. Where is a good place to start?
