Adding 3rd Party OCX To WinForm

[Chip Pearson]

I'm sure that there is a simple answer but I can't find it. I need a
third-part ActiveX control on a form in VB.NET 2005. I can't find anything
on the built-in Forms Toolbox to add a new control nor can I find anything
in commandbar Customize dialog to add a new control to a form.

In the project's reference list, I have added a reference to that control's
file, and it shows up in the Object Browser. I just can't figure out how to
add the control to a standard form in VS2005. The vendor says the control is
"NET Compatible" so I take it that I should be able to add the control to a
form in VS2005.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Rightclick the toolbox and select 'customize toolbox', then select
'Browse' on the 'COM Components' tab to find your .ocx file, check it
in the listbox and it should appear in the toolbox.

Thomas,

Thank you very much. That was exactly what I was looking for. I don't know
why I didn't see that before.
