Using Custom ActiveX Controls

[TheQ]

When deploying an executable that uses custom ActiveX controls, would you have to install and register the control on the computer first before it could be used or is it compiled into your executable?

[Norbert_B]

No, the control is not compiled into the executable.

I haven't tested it out, but i asume that

- if you use a registered ActiveX control, it has to be registered on the target of the executable as well

- if you directly included the ActiveX control (using browse-functionality of the container), the control has to be in the same path on the target system as it was on the developement machine

perharps you could verify my assumption 😉

hope this helps,
