registering a control

how do i register a control

 

[tedsmith]

If you install it as per the suppliers instructions it should be registered. I registered a Threed control that I had in an old version of vb to run in vb6 using a program called Regedit.exe followed by the name of the OCX file for that control.

You can also register files by using the program REGSVR32.EXE. Use the command:

REGSVR32 my.dll

And you can unregister a file with the command

REGSVR32 my.dll /u

Run command REGSVR32 by itself for full help.

Sorry I meant REGSVR32 and not REGEDIT of course!

pancharajoe:

With the Dos prompt and c:\Windows\System

type regsvr32.exe blabla.OCX and Enter to register.

The programs regsvr32.exe can you find on you VB CD ,copy and paste it to Windows System

Eric -

I've done this in the registry:
[tt]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Register]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Register\command]
@="\"regsvr32\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\UnRegister]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\UnRegister\command]
@="\"regsvr32\" \"/u\" \"%1\""
[/tt]

This causes "Register" and "UnRegister" to appear on the popup-menu for all DLL's. You can do the same for OCX's by modifying the "ocxfile" entry under the root. If the "ocxfile" isn't there, change the default value under the ".ocx" key to say "ocxfile", then create the "ocxfile" entry (all under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT).
