Working on getting a legacy app up and running again for work. I'm getting an error at run time that I can't create an activeX control. The suspect call is
oSQL = CreateObject("SQLDMO.SQLServer2")
I did a bit of googling and found that SQLDMO should be in a SQLDMO.dll. I've got that DLL referenced in my project but it is still failing.
Im trying to build an activeX control to be used in excel using VB08 Xpress addition. I have found instructions to create a Class Library Project, then add a user control. Under Build there is only one option, Build "Project Name", no options, no nothing. The build creates a .dll file not an ocx (which I was expecting?)
The problem is that when I compile the control I get a .dll file that I cant register as a activeX control, therefore I cant use it in excel. Ive tried to create stupidly simple activeX controls, ie one label that says "Hello World", still no luck. When I try and register the .dll file, it doest work, therefore no dice with excel.
The strange thing is that within VB08 Xpress I can use the control in any Windows Form Application I create.
I am trying to load an actixex component in a VB project which was made in Visual C++.n VBA it works fine.In VB6, when I try to load the component on the toolbox I get an "Error 35005"In VB2008 the component can be added to the toolbox, but when I try to place it on the form, the following error occurs: "Failed to import ActiveX control. Please ensure it is properly registered."

View 1 RepliesI didnt know if this was the correct location to post this kind of question. My code is in C# however I am using the visualBasic. Interaction. CreateObject to connect to a OCX file. I notice that this works great for a while but if it continues to do its job for lets say a few days then I get and exception... "Can not create an ActiveX component." I am 100% sure that the ocx and dlls are registed correctly to the system.

I wrote an app that writes to an excel file. It works fine on my computer. I create the install through VS2008 and it adds the needed files such as the office dll files. After installing it on another machine it shows it cannot create activex. Does excel need to be installed on the machine? Or is this another type of error?

View 1 RepliesI created an ActiveX Control in ATL, which I can succesfully use in for instance Internet Explorer. When I want to put that object in a VB.NET (2003) app, I get some problems.
First I 'Import' the control, using Visual Studio, so there are COM Interop DLLs created. Then I insert the control in the toolbox and drag/drop on a form. The control is succesfully created.
However, when I run the VBApp, it crashes. The debugger tells me that it gets a 'Class Not Registered' error.
Same when I create a pushbutton and create the object manually:

View 7 RepliesI have a legacy VB6 ActiveX control used in IE to provide control of a parallel-port device from a browser application. I wrote this thing about five years ago; It's a pretty simple control, and it doesn't require a lot of maintenance. However, I've noticed that running the VB6 tools is becoming more and more painful over time, so I'm looking at the possibility of migrating this code to VB.net 2008.This thing is super-simple. It implements IObjectSafety and exposes a single public method, which we call using Javascript. The control has no UI other than a single box with a caption that displays its name and version number-- useful for troubleshooting deployment issues.
How would I create the equivalent in .net? Am I creating an applet? Or a .net Assembly? Any gotchas to look for as I try to make this transition?(I should make it clear here that I'm not either a VB6 programmer or a .net developer-- I've dabbled in this stuff but it isn't my area of expertise, so go easy on me).
I am using the WebBrowser control in Rockwell Automation's Factory Talk SE v. 6.0 to display a PDF file. Within the "Display_AnimationStart" routine, I call the function below to send a ctrl+h to the system to hide the toolbars, which has proven to be quite unreliable.
Is there a more direct, object-specific way to hide the browser's toolbars other than the SendKeys method?
Private Sub LoadPDF(Filepath As String)
SendKeys "^h", True
Me.WebBrowser1.Navigate2 (Filepath)
End Sub
I'm developing in VS2005 on WS 2008 and I've created a windows application containing the webbrowser control.I am trying to run a page containing an activex control, the download prompt for the cab file appears even though the control is installed and running in IE on this machine.Also if I navigate to a site containing Flash, the content is not shown as if Flash is not installed, but it is and again runs fine in IE

I am troubleshooting a program that normally works, and has worked in the past on the machine I am working with.I am a very novice programmer, I didn't program this myself I am just trying to get it to work.I have done as much research as I can, which has lead me to believe it is permissions problem with the CreateObject command.I have tried a fix in the .net 2.0 machine.config file, changing the processModel user to System, that didn't help.The machine does have norton on it, and norton was installed since the program stopped working. However I have tried disabling norton and running the program. A friend suggested it might be some settings on the computer that Norton changed hence disabling it not helping.Here is the error:See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI have a DLL that utilizes the Redemption Outlook Library. This is included in the DLL's Reference on the Project Properties Tab.

When the program called the DLL and at the point of sending the email....I receive the "Cannot create ActiveX Component" error. So, in the Click-Once application, I also referenced the Redemption Outlook Library thinking that would fix the problem but it didn't.

I have the need to embed what I want to call an ActiveX component into a webpage on my intranet. The reason I want to do this is, I'd like to check if a USB security token is inserted on the end users PC.
My question is: what do I need to be researching to accomplish creating a control which can be embedded into Internet Explorer when programming in VB.NET?
I am developing an application in Visual Basic under Visual Studio 2008 Professional. As part of this application I am using a third-party ActiveX control (.ocx file). After building the installer (.msi file) using the deployment tools in Visual Studio, I tested it on a clean system. The install appeared to run successfully--folders are created, files are copied, and the .ocx is registered. However, when I tried to run the application I received an error telling me "You must have a license to use this ActiveX control." This would be expected on the development machine, but should not happen on the client system, i.e., in the runtime environment.
On previous builds of the application, I did not receive this error. Besides updates to the application itself (the part I created, that is), I was using NSIS to create the installer, rather than the tools in Visual Studio. The application cannot run without the .ocx in question, so this error is a show-stopper.
i am creating an activeX control... in this control i want to manage what the tab key does. i may a user interface that allows tabs in the textbox or it might move the user to the next screen. i have everything working in the IDE, but when my activeX is loaded into the 3rd party application the tabs no longer trigger the key down event. i assume this is because the parent application has tab stops is there a way on a control by control basis to stop the normal execution of tabs?

I am using VB2005 express and VC#2005 express. With my old friend VS2003, whenever i needed to add flash to my WInforms, all i needed to do was to add the control as a com component and drag it on the stage from the toolbar. Now, when i did the same in new express version, althogh it is added in the toolbars and the references list, but still, whenever i try to drag a shockwave flash instance on my win form, i get the error: Failed to import ActiveX control, please ensure it is properly registered.
does some one have any idea how to add flash comntrol as we used to do in earlier versions?
I am writing a customized data acquisition application in VB2010. The maker of the data acquisition hardware has provided an ActiveX control that has methods, properties, and events that can be used to interface with the hardware device.My problem is that I'd like to reference the same control (ideally the same instance of the control) on multiple forms.
To begin, it is necessary to initialize the device, sending the control information like sample rate, number of channels, etc. Then you can use methods to start or stop getting data and read properties, like the number of samples taken, or an array of the
actual data. The device also provides events, like a DataReady event that fires when a certain number of samples have been taken, and a DeviceError event that fires if the device is not present.
My program will have several forms:
1) a main menu that opens on startup and that should initialize the unit and determine whether it is present.
2) a daily check form that will get values from the device to determine whether the electronics are good.
3) a test setup form that will get values from the device to zero (tare) the input channels.
4) a run test form that will acquire and process the actual test data.
If I include separate instances of the control on each form, I need to initialize and stop the control when the forms open and close. I started to build an interface class that the forms could share and that would deal with all of the methods, but I get tripped up trying to pass the control's events back to the form.
