    Hey, there's only one problem with that - the control doesn't appear in the Components when I unzip it to C:\Windows\System!
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow

    Try clicking browse it should appear as ThreedXD normally. It Will appear as 3XD if you browse through Windows System by clicking browse
    Give it a try

    Hey, thanks, it works now.

    I tried the AddLine method just for testing, but it doesn't seem to work. I already made it 640x480. Maybe it's just me, I'll try again later - don't have much time now

    Temp = Me.GetIQ()

    Problem

    It has a scalewidth of 640, a scaleheight of 480, you can make it be ass big as you want. To get the line to be displayed, you must call the Draw Function on it(XD1.Draw)

    Yeah, that's probably it. Good thing you keep the stuff in memory before drawing it, because that would be bad programming practice (to simply draw the line and here we go ). I'm gonna try it when I get home, sorry I didn't try hard enough that time

    Maybe post here a sample program, ok? People like to see things moving...

    Yeah, you're right - it's a cool control, maybe instead of Cheap 3D you should call it... Easy 3D

    Anyway, something I noticed... (and take this as constructive critics, ok? ) - you should clear the control before drawing, because when I tried it, everything was in place, but each frame was on top of the other... but the rest is fine
    Maybe you should make it load some kind of file with a 3D model?...

    Clear

    Before drawing a new frame if you want animation, call XD1.Clear to clear its view. this does not erase the object in memory, just the appearence

    Hey, Vbd, nice

    After people see a game (even if it's a small game), they'll start wanting to use your control because it's a lot easier than Direct3D
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    Because DirectX has more capabilitys i am creating a second version which runs on DirectX. It will be the same except let you add spheres,triangles, tetragons etc. It will all be in the same format though. Also, just as easy to use.
    Such as to draw a sphere you would do his..
    XD1.Add Sphere X,Y,Z,Diameter,Red,Green,Blue

    I am still learning DirectX and developing the new version. It will be much better. Also without the problems when rotating

    Talking nice job

    cool control... it's a little complicated to use though, can you give a bit of a more in depth tutorial?

    thanks -
