Problem with ActiveX container controls

[dusans]

I have a problem using ActiveX controls on form. Some controls should act as container (TabControl, CoolBar), but in designer I can't insert any controls in them. Same controls work well with Delphi or VB6. Is this a bug or there is some special action to perform to insert control into non-standard container?

How do you insert Controls would be my question! can you help me?

[Guest amigo]

do you mean insert controls into a form?

[Flyguy]

Just draw a Coolbar on the Form and draw a Toolbar in the Coolbar

[Guest InfiniteOutput]

Yes I mean inserting Controls to a form...

do you know how?

[Guest amigo]

ArnoutV just answered your question.

 

If you want to add more controls to your project, from the toolbox, right click mouse select components.

If you want to insert controls that are not listed in the left hand toolbar then select the project menu, then components and select the component to add to the tool bar.. then just click on the icon and drag on the form..

I need to insert the controls at runtime and I do not know how many I will need - it depends on the user!

[Flyguy]

Put one instance of all needed controls on the form.

Set their index to 0.

Now in code you can use the Load statement to add instances of the desired controls.

my UserControl is named UC.

 

Load UC or what?

[Guest InfiniteOutput]

VB is always saying: can´t load or unload objekt.

[Flyguy]

Just an example.

Make sure you have a Text1 control on your form and have set it's index to 0. I also used 2 command buttons (cmdAdd + cmdDelete)

Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
 Load Text1(1)
 Text1(1).Move 0, 0
 Text1(1).Visible = True
End Sub

Private Sub cmdDelete_Click()
 Unload Text1(1)
End Sub

I think that´s the right code, but VB is wanting some kind of Objektvariable. What does this mean?

My UserControl is called UC...

Are you sure you can insert a user control as easy as a normal objekt?

Active X

 

The way of inserting controls into ActiveX containers works in VB6 but not in VB.Net. I'm interested in inserting control in container as child control of that container.

[Banjo]

So you what to do this in .Net?

[Thinker]

You won't be inserting any .Net controls inside of ActiveX

container controls. There *might* be a way to get other ActiveX

controls inside the container, but there could be some licensing

problems.
