    Question Adding controls to the listbar

    Hey all.. I have a problem. I have an OCX file that was made in Visual Basic. When you call this in Visual basic you can then add it to the components list and then use the control on your form at design time. You can then alter and change the properties for that particular control, and drag and drop it so that you can design something with it.

    Now, I want to use this same control in Borland C++ Builder. Borland ALSO has a Visual Drag and drop IDE and I wanted to add the OCX to the componets list so that I can use it. How can I do this? I tried creating the thing by clicking COMPONENTS then INSTALL COMPONENT and INSTALL PACKAGE. .But IT just doesn't seem to pop up on the listbar where all the other controls are lsited. Anyone figure this out?

    I mean hey, it's got to be possible to use 3rd party controls in Borland C++ Builder. Oh and i've got Version 5.

    Correct. I can only use my control in VB. I can't seem to get it to appear in Borland C++ Builder at design time. I want to add it to the bar that lists all of the useable controls..

    Try reregistering the control or something like that.
    Can you drag that control on the form in Borland C++?

    Don't you need to create a wrapper package for an ActiveX control in order to use it in BCB?

    I have registered the controls. And you are supposed to be able to drag and drop the controls. But it still won't come up on the list... Any ideas?
