How do I call a custom Wizard

I have been able to create a custom wizard using the Wizard Manager. This Wizard was created as an ActiveX DLL. I now want to call this Wizard from a regular VB app. How do I do this?

Any Help would be appreciated.

Hi

As far as I know, a wizard created in Visual Basic with the Wizard Manager, was probably intended to be used from within the Visual Basic Environment as an ADDIN
So once you've compiled your DLL & given your Wizard a more descriptive name, it should appear in the list of available ADDINS when you select the ADDIN manager from within the VB IDE
You can reference your Wizard though since it is an Active X DLL and complies to that technology

Something like this should suffice

Start up a Standard EXE
Select Project->References & browse for where you compiled your dll.
select it and all it's public objects,properties,methods etc will be available to you from within your vb app

You'd have to probably design your wizard with that
technology in mind

You can visit the other VB Forum for more help on ActiveX
Visual Basic(Microsoft) ActiveX Controls and DLLs

Hope this helps
