| 773612 | 2009-05-13 22:54:00 | Under XP I have always been able to show students how to register a new .ocx and then add it into a project, but under Vista and Win7 (I checked) it will not let me. I have always demonstrated using mscal.oxc, a tiny MS Calendar control. Just right for my needs. Vista refuses to let me and eventually I get to the error code 0x8002801c. This leads to a web article at www.chilkatsoft.com 478.asp which offers a solution for this error. But the solution does not work for me. I have no trouble adding into an application any of the ActiveXs that are already registered in my machine. I can flick you a copy of mscal.oxc if you ask. Its small. Thanks. |
