Thread: Trouble Accessing OCX Component

I have a third party component that I regularly use. I referenced it as usual and it pulls in the dll's. However, it is not pulling the ocx into the toolbox.

I last used this component four months ago and it's not showing in that project's toolbox either.

I'm hoping there is a Studio property that was changed without my knowledge.

Anyone have any ideas? If not, does anyone know of some other way for me to get the OCX onto my form?

When the ocx is registered in system (regsvr32) you should be able to use context menu in Toolbox and 'choose items' and find the ocx in COM tab.
With the control item in Toolbox you can drag it to a form and the required project references and interop will be added automatically.

JohnH, you're a life saver. Thank you!!
