Export OCX and EXE File?

Clan CDH · June 27, 2006, 11:49 PM

A friend started teaching me how to use resource files but he never got into any detail on how, I was wondering how I would do that in visual basic so that VB would automatically put specific files where I wanted them to go. Mostly OCX files and one EXE file. Thanks for your help and I will again, be posting on another forum just to get the best results! Thanks!

I don't understand what you're trying to find out...or ask. Resource files have nothing to do with file placement or ActiveX controls (.OCX extended files)

well what im trying to do is create an installer that will extract .ocx files to the system32 directory and register them so that it doesnt tell the user "missing stupidfile.OCX" do you get it now?

You're better off writing a small util with the packaged dependencies that does it for you (minimal requirement is registering the visual basic runtime).

If a person doesn't know how to run the VB runtime installer and regsvr32, and know where to place OCX files, then they shouldn't be allowed to use a bot.

It's a lot of hassle to regsvr32 eight different files.

Not really.

That's exactly why your work never becomes popular... well one of several reasons why anyway.

Not really. He pointed out an obvious fact which came to mind soon after I posted it. To be quite frank, if I cared about peoples opinions at all it definately wouldn't be those of the general stupid populace of Battle.net who don't know ByRef from ByVal.

Ah yes, they're stupid because they don't program in VB6. Brilliant.

Yet they're not as stupid as you because they have the common sense to understand that I used VB terms in a discussion about, of all things, VB.

Get a girlfriend and waste her time instead of mine.

Ah, but you were talking about 'the general stupid populace of Battle.net' weren't you?
