Can you register OCX's the same way?

yea, and once megatron suggested using:

regsvr32 "c:\my ocxs\a.ocx"

becuase then you can have spaces in it

You can also do it from inside your program, by calling the DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer functions which are exported from all OCX files. (An OCX is a DLL with a different extension).

An example of what parksie is talking about is this:

Code:

---

'This will register or unregister a dll/ocx
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function DllRegisterServer Lib "MyDll.Dll" () As Long
Private Declare Function DllUnregisterServer Lib "MyDll.Dll" () As Long

Const ERROR_SUCCESS = &H0

If DllRegisterServer = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
    MsgBox "Registration Successful"
Else
    MsgBox "Registration Unsuccessful"
End If

If DllUnregisterServer = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
    MsgBox "UnRegistration Successful"
Else
    MsgBox "UnRegistration Unsuccessful"
End If

---

Or use the Shell method.

Code:

---

Shell "Regsvr32.exe mydll.dll"

---

Is there a way to verify that the OCX was or was not registered before you run the code below?
