What activex control is this?

When you say that regsrv32 didn't work, was there an error message?

If the registration worked, then go to the front panel add a ".NET and Active X" ->  "ActiveX Container" control to your block diagram. then right-click on it and choose "Insert ActiveX control". A dialog box will appear and in the drop-down, hopefully your OCX control will be listed (with it's full name, not the filename).  Sometimes it depends on which specific control it is (which you have not yet mentioned).

The file did'nt show in the list what can be the possible reason?
