Standard ActiveX Controls


The Learning edition of Visual Basic contains a number of ActiveX controls (referred to as standard ActiveX controls) that allow you to add advanced features to your applications. ActiveX controls have the file name extension .ocx and can be used in your project by manually adding them to the toolbox. The following table summarizes the standard ActiveX controls available in the Learning edition of Visual Basic. Icon Control name ADO Data Control Class name ADODC Description Creates a connection to a database using ADO. Assignable to the DataSource property of other controls such as the DataGrid. Provides a standard set of dialog boxes for operations such as opening and saving files, setting print options, and selecting colors and fonts. Provides most of the features of the standard combo box control, plus increased data access capabilities. A grid control that allows can be data-bound to a data source such as the ADO Data Control. Reading and editing the recordset is possible. Provides most of the features of the standard list box control, plus increased data access capabilities.

Adding and Removing ActiveX Controls


You move ActiveX controls to and from the toolbox using the following procedures. To add an ActiveX control to the toolbox 1. From the Project menu, choose Components. 2. Select the check box next to the name of the .ocx control, and then choose OK. Once a control is placed in the toolbox, you can add it to a form just as you would an intrinsic control. To remove an ActiveX control 1. Remove all instances of the control from the forms in your project. Delete any references to the control in the project's code. If references to a deleted control are left in your code, an error message will display when you compile the application. 2. From the Project menu, choose Components. Clear the check box next to the name of the .ocx control, and then choose OK. An error message will display if there are remaining instances of the control in your project. For More Information See "Adding Controls to a Project" in "Managing Projects" for more information about adding and removing controls and insertable objects to and from the Toolbox.
