using old ocx control

E

E L

I have an old ocx control that I would like to try and use and embed in
a form. We have a web version of this, and I am trying also to make a
windows based version in a C# project.

Problem is I can't seem to imbed the control on a form. Once I grab it
and add it to a form from the toolbox, it starts running in the project.

Is there a different approach I should use? Or am I just going about
this incorrectly.

and advice or questions feel free.

THanks!

E L,

What do you mean it starts running the project? Which project? The one
with the form you are trying to embed the control in, or you are seeing an
instance of the control being created (maybe it has some secondary effect
you are seeing, like the control writing to a log file or something).

The control has to be instantiated in order for it to have design
support, so is it possible that is what you are seeing?
