Using the Resource Editor to Insert an ActiveX Control

To add ActiveX controls to a dialog box:

1. In the Resource dialog editor window, right click and hold to display the pop-up (shortcut) menu.
2. Click the Insert ActiveX Control item in the shortcut menu.
3. Click the right mouse button in any clear area in the dialog box.
4. Select the Insert ActiveX Control item from the menu. A dialog box appears displaying the list of ActiveX controls that are registered on your system.
5. Select one of the listed controls and press OK to add it to your dialog box.

Once you insert the ActiveX control, you can modify it using the resource editor like other controls. You can move, resize, and delete the ActiveX control. You can also modify its properties. ActiveX controls often have a large set of properties that you can modify.
