A lot of the controls have their own help files. Of the ones that do, you can Access them by right clicking on the control after you have dropped it in a form and selecting help.
Most of this help is pretty useless, however, as any examples are for VB. You are much better off checking here or the MS KB for example on how to use them, or VFP subclasses of the controls.


>Thanks Eric and Fred. I haven't used any ActiveX controls yet in any apps built so far so this is a new one on me. By the way, is there a readme file or list somewhere that lists all the ActiveX controls that were installed and registered by VS6?

>>>Not sure about any of this. In VFP I went into Tools/Options/Controls and this control was in the ActiveX list. So I checked its box, saved the options and it now appears on the ActiveX toolbar but doesn't work. I assumed since it was in the list that it was installed as part of VS6. Is this not the case?

>>No. Dynazip is a third party product that is probably in your ActiveX list because something you installed uses the control. License to use and License to develop with are two different things. It is registered on your machine in its capacity to be used by the product you bought or installed, but not to be used by you, the developer.
