[RESOLVED] How to modify ActiveX control within an OCX file?
I have an OCX file with custom controls created by a previous developer. One of the controls needs to be modified as it is not appearing properly when used. Is it possible to "open" the OCX file and modify the relevant control and then "resave" the OCX file?

Nope.. I'm afraid you need the original source code.

Okay, thank you very much. I think I have located the source code.

Don't forget that you need to reinstall the OCX on client machines once you have made an change and recompiled.

Also, you should make sure your project is set for binary compatibility.

Thanks for the replies so far. I haven't had any success in compiling the code due to the fact that I am opening the code in Visual Studio .NET. There are lots of compatibility issues so I think I will just have to open in VB 6 and try to recompile.
