These activex's won't work on any version of VFP. There are 2 reasons:
1. Activex's in VFP form's are 'always on top' - which means that any other contorls you put on a from with these activex's will not be able to be seen.
2. Unlike VB, VC++, Delphi, etc. the controls that go on a form are not true 'windows', thus they don't have a windows handle - therefor you can't 'skin' the controls.

There is something in the downloads section here that lets you skin forms in VFP somehow and still see the controls, however you're never going to be able to skin the controls unless someone rewrites VFP.
