I am getting frustated with this Vb development using OCX, can somebody
help me to get around this problem...

This is the case:
When i write an VB application i added a component(ocx) from the
Project Component List then the controls appear on the toolbox of
course. Add on the control to my form, carry on the programming task
write test and debug,etc and run it using Run-Start with full Compile,
then sometime i get run-time error bcos of my stupid mistake other then
i End it and fix the error. After several times i get an error saying
that the Form can not be loaded due to the missing control (a control)
in the form ( the control still exist on my toolbox). And the control
turns to become a Picture Box. So i remove that Picture Box and
add the control i put on my form before...but this time I cant do it
again , VB says something like Invalid Registration Number
oh ...the OCX is third party OCX that i get when I am installing one of
my software,but it was exist on my Component List.
may i know what i did wrong??? any sugesstion/solution to this ?
*so far what i did is i closed down my VB project and Open Up again
then i can put that Controls in my Form...but isnt that terible soln*

thanks a lot guys/girls

Or the control use's some part of the comctl32 library or comdlg32 library
and see's that it is the wrong version. I come across this a lot. Your best
be is to see what version of any runtime files that are required by the
control are and try to get hold of them at the quickest possible moment.

Sorry to not be able to help you out completly.
