ActiveX Control Tutorial

[webcord]

I reading through the ActiveX Tutorials part 1 found on vb-world.com.

I created the ActiveX control and placed it into a standard vb.exe just like the tutorial said.

But when I try to test it the control pops up in a browers instead of inside of the executable.

Im stuck here. I beated my head on this for a while.
What do I have to do so that I can preview my ActiveX control within a exe?

Please Help.

The tutorial focuses on building an ActiveX control. An ActiveX control must run in a container and that container must be COM aware. When you run the project, it will default to an IE container. In order to run as an .exe do the following:

File -> Add Project -> Standard .exe.

In the Project Explorer right-click the new Project and set as start-up.

Add code to instantiate the the object on form load or command button click or something.

ps. I'm pretty sure Karl explains this in his article?!
