Very generally about controls...

[Jareware]

In visual basic there is the toolbar or something that contains all the controls (like buttons and stuff), so when I click to the components window and select some special controls, do I need to do something differently (like copy a dll with) when I compile and distribute my program?

If you select a control from components, there is nothing to do for your compile...a complile does it's own thing. When you make a distributation application using the VB Package and Deployment feature it should include all dll(s) that you need for any control you add. If you just make and exe then you may need to copy the dll(s) to the pc you want to run your exe on as the exe does not carry the ocx and dll files with it.

Yes you will need to distribute the corresponding ActiveX control i.e. a file with *.ocx extension

Thanks but where do I find these files?
