Use ActiveX Control in a Class

[rzaleski]

Is there a way to initialize an ActiveX control in a class? I tried
copying over the code that was auto generated when I added the control
to a form, but I am hung up on the following line:

this.mycontrol.OcxState = ((System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State)
(resources.GetObject("mycontrol.OcxState")));

Is there any other way to accomplish this?

You shouldn't have to set the OcxState unless you're trying to restore
previously saved settings. My understanding is that this is the way that you
can set properties for the ActiveX control and have the form designer be
able to serialize those settings into the .RESX file. So there's no point in
restoring those settings if you're setting those properties
programmatically...

Here's my problem. I add the control to a form and can do everything
fine (set its properties, etc). If I try to create an object in a
class, I get the following error:

"An unhandled exception of type 'InvalidActiveXStateException'
occurred in axinterop.finsctllib.dll"

Any ideas?
