Installing ActiveX controls into Visual Basic 6

Use the controls as you would use any ActiveX control. The specifics of using ActiveX controls can be found in your development tool documentation.

To use the control in Visual Basic,

1. Use Main Menu -> Project -> Components menu command to open Components dialog
2. In the list of ActiveX libraries that appeared, find the needed library and mark it by putting a check mark left to the name of the library. Don't add the control via Browse button: the ActiveX library is already in the list.
3. If the library is not in the list, re-install the package OR run "RegSvr32 <library_name.dll>" to register the library. After registering the library you need to restart Visual Basic IDE
