Thread: How to Register an ActiveX Component?

Hi there,

I am using a third party ActiveX component in my project.

I understand I need to distribute the component OCX file (and it's related DLLs) in application setup.

How do I do this? Where do I place the OCX file (system32)? Do I need to perform somekind of registration proceedure during the installation of my application?

Cheers

Usually, you load the dll (or ocx in your case) and use GetProcAddress to find DllRegisterServer....call that and you should be registered.

Alternatively, use a script to install the component by calling "RegSvr32 MyComServer.ocx"

Thanks Fordy.
