ActiveX control for Visual C
-
I'm starting to develop some applications and considering 3rd party controls. I am use to developing in-house applications that use the default controls that come with Visual Studio Enterprise. I have noticed this though, that most activeX controls advertised, are advertised heavily for Visual Basic. I thought all ActiveX controls where to work in all ActiveX compliment development enviornments? Also, I have downloaded some sample Active X controls and they really don't work in Visual C++. I tried adding it to a VC project, and got the COM wrapper class that C++ develops, and it would through a ton of erros. Thinking it was just how I used them I contacted the support company for one, and they emailed me a wrapper class for the ActiveX control?!?! Isn't it suppose to work in VC? This one expierence has left me exploring my options of using 3rd party controls for awhile. For all of you expierenced in using 3rd party controls, is this common? Why doesn't all ActiveX controls work seamlessly between enviornemnts? Also, if anyone has links and suggestions for good GUI controls for VC please post them here, as I'm looking to build my library. I already have Marbry, Sheridan(Infragistics), Component One, and Programmer's Paradise, any other companies and your personal recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
