Debug an Active X control,

[Pat]

Hi,
I build a mydatagrid.ocx active x control, and use it in the forms of main
project .exe. There is no project group setup here.

I want to be able to debug into the mydatagrid.ocx, but unsuccessful.
According to the Microsoft document, I set up the startup program in
ActiveX control project. It loaded the exe correctly, but when I try to
open forms, nothing happen for one form, and "Runtime error 399, component
mydatagrid.ocx or one of its component not correctly registered"

Has anybody done this before?

Thanks in advance.
Pat

Pat,

You probably need to compile your ocx. When you compile it the compiler will
register the componet. If your user interface is complete you should copy
your ocx to another directory (I call mine 'compatible') and set the
compatible option of your project to that file. As long as you don't make
changes that break compatibility you should be able to work with both
projects in a project group with no problem. Any time you need to break
compatibility you must recompile and reset your compatible options.
