Well, (as far as I know..) Windows 95 controls are just 32-bit controls. In the beginning there was VBX (ver 1, etc..) They became then OCX-controls,
meaning basically VBX-controls with OLE capabilities. Then came 32-bit OCX controls for 32-bit OS. They are __not__ compatible with any of the above. Some of these controls use regular Windows95 display controls.

In fact OCX does not even exist today. They're called ActiveX controls. Confused?? --

BTW: to the thread above: Technically I guess it would be possible to build 32-bit controls from OLE, provided that Forms now support extended capabilities
of OLE, which I doubt.. Received on Wed Nov 27 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
