Problems with Building an ActiveX Control

I have completed an activeX control, but whever I try to build it always fails. No errors, seven warnings. The activeX is built, however it needs four DLL dependencies in the same folder in order to register it. I'm assuming because of that, I can't embed it in a webpage. I have it cabbed. Though I have a feeling it's dll's can't be read while in the cab for whatever reason.

I'm very certain their's nothing wrong with my code, so no need for revisions there. I think the compiler is the problem. Just a small favor out of curosity, could someone try out to build it for me with their own compiler and I'll see If it makes any difference?

I'll send the source folder on skype, in *.dsw format within a zip, to keep it confedential at this time.

Thanks!

use the linker option /verbose.

The ocx got to be registered with regsvr32 (as admin). What is the result?

It appears to register successfully, and yes on an admin acount, but whenever I try to get it in a webpage I just see a small red 'X' instead of my control. I used the <object></object> tag with the correct Class id and codebase.

So the registration isnt properly. Check with some tool that your ActiveX -Control is properly registered. I guess that their is something missing for IE or Web-Access. Compare with a working sample.

Compare with that fine article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/CompleteActiveX.aspx
