removing OCXs from converted app

[Ike]

I have converted a huge vb6 app to .net. Now, I have 4 ocx controls
(richtx32, commdlg32, etc) that I wish to remove from this application. Is
there an easier way to do this than to go through it, form by form, viewing
every control on every form and trying to discern where they are
? Thanks, Ike

How many forms are there?

I would do a "Find in files" looking for the instancing ( = new
RichTextblablabla ) and take it from there.

These jobs are sometimes required in software. I have recently manually
extracted 490 string literals from a Java application of 150 classes,
replacing each literal with a Parent.Res ( "IDS_xxxxx" ) call. I'm now
certifiably brain dead...........

JFYI: Removing all the controls would break existing code.
