[.net] ocx usage
Author
hi, being quite new to .net I have the following question;
I want to use an ocx control (that was used in vb), in my .net app. I've found out that I need to create a wrapper, wich can be done with the program AxImp. This then generates 2 dll's, and that's when I get lost.. How to incoorporate them in my program?
thanx for replying!
Right-click on the toolbox and select Add/Remove items.
The browse to the managed dll (Ax<prog-id>.dll) and select it.
A new control should be have been added now to your toolbox.
Cheers

If I do so, I get an error saying:
there are no components in this dll that can be added to the toolbox.
Any ideas?

It might be possible that the specific ActiveX can not be 'transformed' to .NET... Did AxImp give any messages?
Well then I suggest that you name the ActiveX control (if it is public) and hope someone knows it. If it is a private ActiveX you could opt for migration to/rewriting in .NET.

I don't mean to sound condescending, but have you considered ditching the OCX control? ActiveX and OCX are like obsolete technologies, yo.
Can you not reimplement it in pure .NET?

Well, you tell me..
It's part of the tomtom navigator sdk, and all they provide is the ocx. And like I said, just don't know how to get there..
Any further help is appreciated!
