ActiveX Property Sheet Error in CVI 7.0

[zhenve]

I want to use a ActiveX control "Microsoft ImageList Control, version 6.0"(mscomctl.ocx) to store some icons. In LabWindows/CVI 7.0, when I click the "Property Sheet" to insert images, there popup a error "This control does not have property sheets.". But in CVI 6.0, all things are OK. Who can tell me WHY does it happen and HOW to solve it?

The problem is that the default tool (mode) of the 'Quick Edit Window' in the 'Edit ActiveX Control' was changed to 'operate' in version 7.0. Previous to 7.0 the default tool was 'edit'. Some activeX controls don't allow their property sheets to be accessed when the control is not in edit mode.

You can change the quick edit window to edit mode by clicking on the dotted box icon and then click on the property sheets buttton. You can also access the properties dialog directly from the UI editor by right clicking on the activeX control and selecting 'Properties' from the right-click menu.
