How to make the "(About)" property for an ActiveX control ?

I want to display a form (from my ActiveX control), but don't know how to make the (About), WITH THE ROUND BRACKETS to show up in design time when using the ActiveX control.

Just a few simple steps :

1. Create your about form (obviously!)

2. Write a sub routine that shows your about form modally

3. Highlight the sub routine name then go to Tools->Procedure Attributes , select ShowAbout from the drop down list

Thats it done!

Well, you can add your own by including the following code in your control:

Public Sub About()
' load your about form, whatever it may be
frmAbout.Show
End Sub

After this, select Tools, Procedure Attributes. Select 'About' from the drop-down list, then click on the 'Advanced>>' button. From the procedure ID drop-down, select the 'AboutBox' option. This tells the Properties window that this piece of code displays your About box.
