I have a vb6 form that I've put an ocx control on. Setting NegotiateMenus on the form displays the ocx's control (which is what I want). I then add my own control to the form. When that control has focus, the menu from the ocx disappears. How can I always keep the menu from the ocx displayed, regardless of who has focus? ...
Hello, I'm using a COM Wrapper to interact with Windows Media Player. The it is using an AxHost to somehow wrap the player, for me it's all just magic under the hood^^ The AxHost.AttachInterfaces looks like this protected override void AttachInterfaces() { try { //Get the IOleObject for Windows Media Player.

What happened to OCX's? Are they no longer possible to create with the latest tools? I need to create an ActiveX control that I can place in Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents. If I use VS.NET, I can only create a UserControl DLL with COM Interop, but I don't think I can add that using the "More Controls" toolbox of PowerPoint's Devel...
I need a very simple and clear example of how to create an OCX in unmanaged C++ code. Ideally, I'd like to consume it in Office, but any container (i.e. VB6, .NET WinForms) should be good. I am having trouble seeing how I can add controls to the OCX canvas... I have seen examples of opening dialogs from within the OCX's load event... bu...
Hi, I have to display a column chart in a user form in VBA. Exporting the chart to GIF and importing in a picture box works; but I cannot use it because the chart needs to be modified based on options chosen by the user from the same form. I have been searching and people have commented that default OLE/OCX controls provided by MS may b...
I'm embedding a Flash ActiveX control in my C++ app (Flash.ocx, Flash10a.ocx, etc depending on your Flash version). I can load an SWF file by calling LoadMovie(0, filename), but the file needs to physically reside in the disk. How to load the SWF from memory (or resource, or stream)? I'm sure there must be a way, because commercial sol...

I have a WindowsXP configured as a build machine. The build process runs under an account which isn't an administrator. Some projects register as a last step an ocx control with something like regsvr32 /s /c ".\debug\myocx.ocx" This step fails and I assume that this has something to do with rights because doing the same under an ad...

I use an ActiveX control which is just a HTTP handler. It sends out an HTTP request, gets the response and fires an event to the user. When the user is not requesting the ActiveX control is pretty much dormant. It just waits for a user request to send another HTTP request. As long as the window in which the OCX resides does not change (...
