Dear ladies and gentlemen,

I have a custom invisible Delphi component, and I want to convert it to
an ActiveX component. I don't know how to do it. I have tried to build an
ActiveX control project, but the Wizard asks me to select a VCL class
component from an Combo box, but my custom component class isn't there. It
seems like it could only convert visible components to ActiveX components.

Give me some suggestions on how to convert invisible Delphi components to
ActiveX components, please. How to start? Thank you very much.

Xiaoming

Maybe you are really looking for an "automation object", not for an
"ActiveX component".

HTH,

I also would like some information in converting VCL controls to ActiveX.

I added the registry hack to enable the "ActiveX Control Wizard" in Delphi
2007 (Win32), but none of my 30 custom controls appear in the VCL Control
Name dropdown. My custom controls descend from controls like (TButton,
TDrawGrid, TEdit, etc) and are installed in the IDE component palette.

Please any information that you have on this will be helpful.
