ActiveX Control Registration

[Cs30Man]

I created a simple ActiveX control that I want to be placed in my webpage. I created the control using VB6.0. When I goto run the control It brings up a webpage and everything works fine, so I copy a paste the "<object....." line from the created HTML into my webpage, run my webpage and the control comes up fine.

Then I close Visual Studio and try my webpage again and all I get is a little empty white box where the control should be, what gives??

do I have to register the control somehow? I thought that was does automaticly. can anyone give me some insite as to what the problem may be?

Yep ActiveX controls need to be registered which you can do from the start>run box by typing:

regsvr32 "C:\path\mydllname.dll"

For another time, I found a cheat a while back stating you could use the activex control pad from MS if you can still get hold of it -
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...hlight=control I think you can drag & drop your control onto a page & it'll create the <Object> tag & classid, as well as register the file for you from memory - it's been a couple of years since I've used that myself but I think tht's right....
