Can't remember where I grabbed the base code for this little tool, but it works great [so my apologies and cudos to whoever wrote it].
I just tweaked it by adding Browse buttons, messages, and Clear and Exit buttons.
Great little tool, saves effort for those that are as lazy as I am. ;)
With all due respect, i think this would be even more waste of time and efforts. Registering/Unregistering DLLs, OCXs takes hardly any time if you know the commands.
Simple type ..........
regsvr32 filepath to register and
regsvr32 -u filepath to unregister.
You can run these command's from start menu - > run.
I think what could be really usefull is if i could right click on some DLL or OCX anywhere in my hard drive and Register/Unregister option could come up in that menu. I think that would be really helpfull. I haven't seen that example anywhere on this forum.....???? May be i should take the initiative and do this ... :p
I'd buy that for a dollar!
techyspecy:
You can add those verbs to the context menus for .OCXs by adding it in the View->Folder Options->File Types definitions.
Just point it to regsvr32.exe and add a /u parameter for the Unregister verb.
If you can see DLL file types in that list then you can do likewise. If not, what I did was create Register and Unregister shortcuts in my "Send To" menu that again point to regsvr32 with the /u parameter for Unregister.
You just right click on the ocx or dll and go Send To->Register or Unregister.
*CORRECTION*
For unregistering (by Send To) I had to create a little Sub Main app that takes whatever filepath it is passed and shells regsvr32 with the /u param. I forgot that shortcuts don't seem to recognize additional parameters..
you asked for it and now you get it....
just d/l this little file and double click it to install it
and you will have the capability....
ps. seems i can't upload a .reg file, so i changed the extension to .txt....
so once you download it change the extension back to .reg and then double-click it to install it....
Cool, thanks! But it doesn't seem to work for .ocx files (NT4)...?
i am using windows 2000 and it's working fine....
i haven't a clue as to why it doesn't work with NT4, sorry....
i have also used it on win98 with success.
anyone else have an answer to this NT4 issue?
I'm working on 2000 now, but if I recall correctly, I think I solved the problem by adding that extra CRLF at the end of the .reg file.
It's just that the entry wasn't getting added to the registry.:rolleyes:
