Re: [Virtools] ActiveX and VB

Hi, I've been busy working on a project using Visual C++
The "Create RenderContext failed." error is familiar, I see it in the activex control when I'm in the resource editor.
However it doesn't hinder the application from functioning properly when compiled.

As for loading the cmo file :
I bet you're using the Load() function..... wrong, you should use SetSrc ()
I have no idea what the Load () function is for.

If anybody needs a Visual C++ example, give me a shout and I'll throw it on the mailing list.
Also I've posted a tutorial on how to create something like that on the swap-meet
http://www.theswapmeet.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/000003.html

Good luck, Patrick
