MS ActiveX controls used with the ActiveX Hosting Control availability??

[James C. Fuller]

José,
  Where does one find the MS ActiveX controls you are using in your latest examples. What software needs to be installed? Are the controls legally available without a complete package install?

Microsoft ActiveX controls ships with Visual Studio 6.0, so you must have a Visual Studio 6.0 license to redistribute them.

They are old, although still useful, and I have used them in the examples mainly because there are many PBer's that have it.

Ok. Thanks José. My last MS Visual purchase was VB 5. I do have 2008 Express (VB,C++,C#) but it appears these are all .net focused.
I do believe some of them came with VB 5 but I doubt I'll install it again just to see.

I have VB 5 Pro I bought myself, and later came into posession of Visual Studio Enterprise 6 from my employer.  If I reacall though, many of the *.ocx's were in various subfolders of the install directories on the CD, and perhaps might be installed by themselves with Regsvr32.  I seem to vaguely remember doing that with some VB4 or VB5 CDs.  Many of the OCX's have about a half dozen or so files associated with them though.
