Creating ActiveX Components (OCX,VBD,DLL)

Mickah · 2009-04-01 10:56:32

I need to create an ActiveX component. From what I've read online VB .NET does not support ActiveX anymore. You can no longer download VB 6 which would do the trick. Any ideas?

Well you can create ActiveX in .NET its just a wee bit different. You need to make them COM visible so that they can interact the way that ActiveX did
