(About the author)
 
     This is the 3rd part of a 3 parts download. The tutorial has gotten pretty big (1.2 MB)! For this reason, I had to compress it with WinRAR and split the file into 3 smaller files. First, you will have to download the three files. The files' size must be 427 KB, 432 KB and 431 KB respectively. If the size of one of the files does not correspond to the mentioned values, download that file again. After that, decompress their content into the same folder and run the EXE file. I know that it is a little complicated but I’m sure that you will not regret downloading it!! ________________________________________________________________________ If you never had the chance to program an ActiveX Control before, that is your chance! You have no more excuses! This tutorial has about 25 pages packed with more then 60 screenshots!! Even the most novice programmer will be able to follow the step-by-step instructions. The more advanced programmers will, also, benefit from it. But there is more!! Included is an ActiveX Control Project that is, by itself, worth the download!! You shouldn’t waist more time!! Come and download it!! ________________________________________________________________________ When you are finished downloading and evaluating the tutorial, I will be more than glad to receive your comments and votes. But when you do it, please, make sure that you are in the THIRD and last part of the submission. ________________________________________________________________________ Happy New Year to everyone!!

Your tutorial is an excellent resource for beginners. I'm a beginner in VB at (well at least in many portions of it), your tutorial is an very good way to help me and other to learn ActiveX controls.

Thanks for the time to create this and share with all us.

Of course you have the 5 stars.

You should get 10 globes, not only 5 globes. Really really an Excellent Tutorial. Makes me very easy to understand how to make an ActiveX Control. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too, Elias.

This is one of the best tutorial I have ever seen for ActiveX. Sure this is very easy to follow and a boom for all beginners. I would appreciate and be glad if you could continue this effort for advanced Active X Control and DLL tutorials.

My vote is excellent for this program.

Good Luck!

Regards,
Venkat.

Great Code! I have a question, though. The standard color property is supposed to come up atomatically, but does not show at all. Any ideas are appreciated

3/5/2004 9:04:47 AM: 

Regarding the problem I was having, it is fixed.
Elias, I want to thank you for this tutorial. I never understood the role of ActiveX, but with this tutorial, it is clear as can be. I even coded my first ActiveX component... a dull little dice roller. Thanks again, and if I could give you 10 planets, I would.
I wanna see more from you dude!

I can't figure out why I don't get the StandardColor tab to show up in the Property Page Wizard so it's not letting me change any settings when I go to the properites of the control via right-click, any ideas?
