How To Import an ActiveX Control in Delphi.
Let's see how to add ActiveX controls to your Delphi projects.
Difficulty Level: easy Time Required: 5 minutes
Here's How:
- Start Delphi and select Component | Import ActiveX Control...
- Look for an ActiveX control you wish to import (dialog displays the ActiveX controls registered on your system). I will call this control: SomeActiveX
- Select the Component palette location in which you want to place selected library.
- Maybe the best is to leave the ActiveX option selected.
- Click on Install.
- Select a package where the new component must be installed or
- Create a new package for the new TSomeActiveX control.
- Click on OK.
- Delphi will prompt you whether you want to rebuild the modified/new package or not.
- Click on Yes.
- After the package is compiled, Delphi will show you a message saying that the new TSomeActiveX component was registered and already available as part of the VCL.
- Close the package detail window, allowing Delphi to save the changes to it.
- The component is now available in the ActiveX tab (if you didn't change this setting in step 4)
- Drop the component on a form, and simply: use it.
