- That's usually how it's done. Why would anyone compile a single user-control to a separate OCX file?
- Very much default modus operandi too. Here is a snippet from a manifest of ours:

@-Franky-: Declare Function FormatEx Lib "fmifs" is a nice find I didn't know it was accessible. Should make providing a Format utility trivial incl. quick format.

Your scanner is probably scanning EAN-128 instead.

Something is very wrong with Office typelibs in general. The above "rule" is how the language is designed to work.

Yes, As New declarations can happen with coclasses only (i.e. cannot use interface names).

For instance these 3 are equivalent:


Dim oStdPic As StdPicture
Set oStdPic = LoadPicture()...

How do you inspect default interface on a coclass with Object Viewer?

Here is a snippet from OLE View decompiled stdole2.tlb

Yes, having As Any parameters would be the true root cause.

There is no problem implementing IUnknown derived interfaces, just tested with oleexp.IContextMenu.

No, this is not what the original code does and besides you cannot implement user-controls in Excel (or VBA) to test it.

The original MouseMove event is a handler in a user-control so pvSetCapture...

No, it does not.

The original purpose of SetCapture/ReleaseCapture API functions is to be able to receive WM_MOUSEMOVE on a hwnd (so called capturing window) even when mouse pointer is outside its...

I very much doubt there is a quick and easy way to customize this short of recreating (duplicating) the dialog to include the new control at certain position.
