VS 2008 Create At ActiveX Control Using VB08 Xpress?
Jul 21, 2009
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.

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.

I have been trying for ages to put an ActiveX control on a windows form for a CCTV camera I am using. I have registered the control with windows, added it as a reference to my VS2008 project and now it appears in the toolbox.When I put the ActiveX control on the form I always get an error saying "Failed to create back buffer surface" The control is added to the form however I can not get it to work and I suspect it has something to do with this error.I have an example project from the developers of the camera that does not have this problem, i.e. I can add the ActiveX control with no problems, however the program is in C++ and I am using VB.Net.Is there anything else I need to do to stop this error from occurring?I am using a CCTV camera from Zavio (F521E). The ActiveX control is called AxVideoView.ocx.

The DevExpress download link for CodeRush Xpress (found here CodeRush Xpress for C# and Visual Basic inside Visual Studio 2010), Download CodeRush Xpress seems to lead to a dead download. The page is there but when the auto-download kicks off or you manually try to Start download, we're gettting a 404 error. The download worked fine last night... There's no obvious way to ping the MSDN VB Dev Center nor DevExpress to let them know about this issue...

I 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?

I am developing a VB2008 application that makes use of the Office Access runtime.I started development on Win7 64-bit & Visa 32-bit machines.The application runs just fine on the machines with VB2008 installed.I have used a number of tools to build the application installation and I am running into the same thing on all target test machines (currently XP Pro).The system fails when the Office Access portion of the code starts to run.Below is the Just-In-Time debug info.
I also notice that .NET 2 is being called.Is it wise to make .Net3x the preferred .Net client?In the application, I have specificed .Net3 (however, it does not look like it is being called).The target test machine (XP Pro) has .Net 2.3 and 4 installed.See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I 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:
Code:
Dim AxQuest3DCtrl As Object
AxQuest3DCtrl = CreateObject("MyControl.MyCtrl.1") //crashes here
If AxQuest3DCtrl Is Nothing Then

I 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 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]... When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I have a DLL that utilizes the Redemption Outlook Library. This is included in the DLL's Reference on the Project Properties Tab. This is a DLL that I wrote and one of its newest features is its ability to send an email.This DLL is called by a Click-Once program that has a GUI. 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. The Click-Once app resides on a server with other Click-Once apps. In it's irectory structure the DLL is also present and now....so is the Redemption Outlook Library DLL. I'm all out of ideas. Here is the code that sends the emails below.
Private Sub SendEmailToUser()
Try
Dim Application = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

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 trying to embed an activex control (.ocx) created using VB6.0. It's a bare bones usercontrol with no extra code, just for testing purposes. But when I embed this control in one of our windows forms in our legacy development environment (Gupta Centura V3.1), running as an MDI child in an MDI context, the main menu bar of our runtime MDI disappears.
