    Re: Debugging ActiveX

    It's not easy to debug a compiled ActiveX component. The way I do it is to create a new project and then add the ActiveX project (creating a project group) and debug from there.

    Re: Debugging ActiveX

    i dont think one can debug a compiled activex dll or exe. it can only be modified if it is not compiled but once it is compiled, theres no way one can debug it(for my own opinion. it is never posible. otherwise, software piracy would grow to the max)

    There are applications available that allow you to trace the execution of compiled apps, whether they be ActiveX or whatever. They don't however allow you to modify the app's code which would probably cause a spectacular crash anyway.
