>>Well, Larry's point was essentially the same one I was making. When I was writing Obj2Bmp I wanted it to work with both VFP 5.0 and 6.0. However, since it utilized the TreeView and the ImageList, and the versions of the controls (including ProgIDs) were different. The solution was to simply subclass the controls, determining which one to instantiate at run-time. I don't know if there are licensing issues with those controls or not, but in this instance, it really didn't matter since the application was designed to be used in design mode.

Freak things do happen...Kent State/Indiana...Hampton/Iowa State.< g >

>FYI, both those controls have license information embedded under HKEY_CLASSES\ROOT\Licenses. Without doing too much digging, I didn't get the actual registry keys for them but you can find them (if you really, really want to) by going through the SRG files in your System/System32 directory.

As I understand it, there are only a few ActiveX controls that have two different licenses (one for design and one for run-time). Two of them I've mentioned before. These are the only ones (so far < gt hedges his bets here >) that I'm currently aware of.
