Hi everyone,

I've read that to register a new control one needs the following
files:NameOfTheControl.hlp and NameOfTheControl.ocx.Let's suppose I've
got the two files already.In which directory should these files be
located? and what about the REGSVR32 utility? how can I use it in
order to register the new control in VC++ 6.0 and VC++ 2008?Does
someone have an idea?

Thank you

Lucress

Strictly speaking, .HLP file is not necessary, but it's nice to
provide a manual with ActiveX control.

You can put them wherever you want. It doesn't matter. Since
system folders aren't writable anymore starting from Windows 2000,
the most appropriate place is usually your target directory under
"Program Files".

Run REGSVR32 at command prompt to see its command-line switches.
basically, you just call it with your control filename:

REGSVR32 NameOfTheControl.ocx

You can put the above command in post build step in VC++ IDE.
