Hey,

i am new to the whole COM environment and I have been having this issue for a week now.

I am curently working with visual C++.NET
The project i am working on is a Com Dll , exporting an ActiveX control.

I need to add another ActiveX control to this project but can't figure out a way to do it.

Can 1 Dll export several ActiveX controls, and if it is the case, how do you add one to an existing project.

Thanks for your support , I'll post more details if anyone is willing to help me.

Edit:

I'm starting to think it is not actually possible, it sounds weird to me because i've seen several ActiveX controls coming from the same dll.

if anyone has any knowledge about this, please reply, I'm really stuck with this.

Thanks.

I am in the exact same situttion. Have Visual C++ 6 projects which contain several activeX Controls. in Visual C++ 6 you get to choose that number at the beginning of the project set up with the wizard. However how do you add more controls to that project at a later time?

More confusing is that Microsoft has decided to change the wizard for ActiveX control projects in Visual C++ .NET / 7 and you don't get the option to choose how many controls the project should include. How do you change this?

This is the only other post relating to this topic that I have come accorss. Microsoft doesn't even mention anything about it. Why did the have to change the wizard!

Argh!!
