Hi everybody.

I want to add an Communication control on my dialog based project in VC2005.
In VC6.0 I was using Project->Add to project->Add Components and controls etc
In 2005 under the project menu I do not have Add to project :(
When I created new MFC project I selected Dialog based and made sure ActiveX control radio was checked.
Under Tools->Customize (Commands tab) I have Rearrange Commands->(Menu bar checked) select Project pressed Add, under categories select again Project and I can see "Add component" and "Add user control". However even if I added them they are greyish under Project menu.

Any ideas how can I get "Add to project" for VC2005?

Thanks
Marian
