I am writing an activex control using D7 and I am trying to debug it. I have chosen a host application (a VB6 app) and set a breakpoint. I click "Run/Register ActiveX Server" and then "Run/Run". The host app starts as expected, but when it invokes the activex method that contains the breakpoint, the breakpoint is ignored. I have also tried "Run to Cursor" but with the same result. Is there a setting or detail I am neglecting?

I'm not used with D7, so it I can tell you is something especial is needed.
But the debugger lossing breakpoints is not so rare in other Delphi versions; my best advise is to make a "work bench" to debug your control. Or to do a try with the container program the SDK have.
Better at all, fully debug your control while it is still a Delphi component and promote it to ActiveX after debugged, to simplify the final debugging.
