Board index » Visual Studio » The ActiveX control "GridControl" ... requires a design-time license ???

Visual Studio262
This Active-X control is registered on all of my systems, not just the ones

that have VC++6 installed, so I assume that it's part of the Windows

run-time environment. Is this correct?



Assuming that I would deem it useful, since all that happens if I try to

instantiate it into a dialog is that I get the error message, how could I

find out what sort of design-time license is required, who can issue these,

etc...?



TIA

Hi Norm,



Thanks for your post. I'd like to share the following information with you:



1. By GridControl, do you mean the Grid OLE Control (grid32.ocx)? Based on

my research, this control is shipped with various versions of Visual Basic

and Visual Studio. You can check it by searching grid32.ocx in DLL Help

2. To update the design-time licenses for this control, you can find and

double-click the file Vbctrls.reg in VB or VS installation disc. Please

refer to the following KB for detailed information:

Hope this helps.
