I'm missing the OLE Container control from VB6 so ny question is Is it possible to build a Com component which acts as an OLE container control for one specific COM EXE server? It should provide a window for InPlaceActivation of the specific server, for example Microsoft Equation Editor. Thankx in advance Lennart

How do I set up the parameters and call Private Declare Function OleCreatePictureIndirect _ Lib "olepro32.dll" (PicDesc As PicBmp, RefIID As GUID, _ ByVal fPictureOwnsHandle As Long, IPic As IPicture) As Long from C# and retreive the returned picture(image?)? Thanx in advance LLINF LLINF

You can use the WebBrowser control. If you just want the viewing functiopnality it's straightforward. If you want to perform more advanced OLE(inserting objects, getting references to objects and more) it's quite advanced stuff(compared to how it was done in VB6). For more information go to www.msdn.com(microsoft developer) and search for 'Web Browser' and you will find a number of articles about using the Web Browser in a windows form. Hope this will help you! LLINF LLINF
