From: Henning on 16 Feb 2010 16:47 Hi, If I have an app where I created 8 different User Controls, they are only added when running, are they "compiled in" in the exe? Do I need to use a hidden Form with one each on that Form, to get them auto-included? Tried to read and understand, but no... Would be nice to know before I let my fellow testers laugh at my not working app... ;) TIA/Henning

If that is the case, then yes, those user controls are compiled into the EXE. -- Mike

If they are listed in the project, then they are included. Try searching the EXE for the UserControl names using a Hex editor. They are always listed there.

I expect you are getting an error along the lines of: > 'Project.UserControl' cannot be added because it is referenced but > not in use by any items in the project. To correct this, uncheck > 'Remove information about unused ActiveX Controls' in Project > Options. If so, then it gives you the answer in the error message :) (Or put them on a form, but the tickbox is cleaner) -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems |
