Resource Editor Embeding

[0CODE]

I am using an ocx file (custom one) in my app and working off of it by adding it to the tools window. Now I open the exe in VS.NET 2002. I added the ocx it like a normal resource (selected import etc) and got that done. But im pretty sure i need to do proper naming of the resource or something because it cant find it when i runn the app and generates an error.

any help/comments would be greatly appreciated - thanks

did you add it to your references?

no, I right click on the toolbox window and click "Components..." then browse for the ocx file and put it on the form by clicking on it in the toolbox and just drawing it like any other control.

also this program is in VB6 but I doubt that would matter at all.

you must check if it is in you references from the project you are in, if not add it. some ocx or dll's do not automatically add themselves to your references, most do.
