ActiveX --- HOW?

[ReneMiner]

i tried dozens of controls by now. The only one working is the internet explorer browser from the samples.
No other ocx will even show up.
Here is a very simple, detailled documented and all required files shipping ocx-control for download.
if anyone gets it to show up or even react on an event then please tell me how.

ReneMiner,
for ActiveX dll's or ocx's we shoukd first register it in the windows system else it can't be called
in your case from the link you have provided , open the command prompt to the directory of your PropList.ocx and then write:
regsvr32 PropList.ocx
you should get the MSG:
regsvr32.PNG

then you can call that ocx
there is a comments by Petr about using COM_CallMethod here

it is here calling ActiveX DLL
i gave tested all the examples with Windows XP. not sure how it behave in win7/8/10

yes the program in the https://www.codeproject.com/Articles...ed&tid=4017442
works , i have tested it with VB6, it works and the buttons respond to clicks such as clicking on RGB button will launch the paint program :

there is an error MSG at first run: "an error ocurred in the secure channel support" this is may be by the url addresses in the VB6 project.

the regsvr32-thing i tried already but i used regsvr32 -i proplist.ocx and always got the message the entry-point were not to find. VB6 did not react disturbed but once i added the component to the project i was able to use it in vb6 without any problems - but it did not show up in tb.

I will try without the -i switch after using the -u switch and then reboot. Lets see.
Now i will have a look at the link

thanks for the meantime
