ERROR when I change from std exe to activex control

[mathprof]

I downloaded a VB6 Project from Planet Source Code. The author says that the code can be used in any which way. I need some help but the author’s email link is not working.

The project has a form and user control. The Project Property Type is Standard exe. I compiled the project and the exe runs OK.

However, I want a Control.

If I change the Project Type to ActiveX Control, and Make ocx I get a message box that says: No Public UserControl Detected

I can modify the control and recompile as a standard exe with no problem.

What I want to do is compile as a control and use it with Word. How can I work around the “No Public UserControl detected?”

Usercontrol is like a form, only for activex controls. It's a container for other controls or just for you to draw in (if you don't use other controls). It's the actual class that is exposed as an activex control to the outside world. You can't compile an activex control without at least one usercontrol...

Thank you LazyMe.
You got me thinking.
I check the properties of the control that was not being recognized and changed Public from false to true.
