Wow, very cool. Derek is indeed the superguru. That looks like exactly what I wanted. After installation, the two new project types (Class Library and Windows Control Libray) appear correctly. But when I create a Windows Control Library project, I get a error: "Object with program ID VsWizard.VsWizardEngine cannot be created" Using the ancient art of Chi-Ting I saw the MS original projects use VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.7.1 in their .vsz files. Just change Dereks Class Library.vsz and Windows Control Library.vsz to use that class instead

I have Visual Basic 2003 Standard Edition and to my surprise (ok, that wasnt *quite* the emotion) it does not have a template project for creating an ActiveX control or even a DLL project. On another thread, superguru Derek Stone pointed out that it was easy to create the necessary equivalent project in the standard edition, but he left it as an exercise for the reader. Does anyone know what project type I start with (not Win application, console app, or ASP .net app I assume, perhaps "Blank solution") ? And then what are the various import/config files needed ? You can inherit from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl so probably there is not too much code to write after initial setup ( :D ?) Thanks in advance Toad
