having problems importing activeX

[ShawnCoutts]

I am using turbo C++ explorer vs 10, and am unable to figure out how to import activeX controls.

I need to be able to use the MSComm object, but my ide won't read .ocx files. The file im trying to import is
"MSCOMM32.ocx"

including the file doesn't work either.

Is there a way to include more components in the vcl?

I've heard that _by design_ "explorer" versions (free ones) do not allow external components.
I would be happy to be wrong here.

thanks, I suspected as much as I spent many hours trying to fix that yesterday
