Hi everyone,
I changed from VC++ 6.0 to VC++ professional 2008
for a couple of days and I'm really confused about the big difference
between the two environments...
For instance I can't figure out how I can add ActiveX Controls
to a MFC Dialog based application.I imported the controls using:
Project -> Add Class -> MFC Class From ActiveX Control
and I can find the imported controls in the IDE Toolbox...
Does someone have an idea?

Thank you

You're not alone :)

I think that that kind of confusion is common to everyone switching from VC6
IDE to VS200x (my path was VC6 -> VS2003 -> VS2008, I skipped 2005).

Did you try the following?

In the dialog-box resource editor, right click on the dialog-box you are
building, and select "Insert ActiveX Control ..." from pop-up menu.
Then select the desidered ActiveX control from the list.

Then you can go back to the dialog-box resource editor, right click on the
newly added control, and select "Add Variable..."

HTH,
Giovanni
