ActiveX Component Expert

When I try to convert my component to an ActiveX control using the ActiveX expert (New ... ActiveX ... ActiveXControl), my component is not visible in the dropdownlist of VCL components. It is correctly installed and working as normal VCL component though, any ideas?

What does your component inherit from?

The component is inherited from TComponent - is there a problem with invisible components?

According to Delphi's help, a TActiveXControl must be derived from a TWinControl.

"TActiveXControl defines the core behavior and interfaces required of an ActiveX control and connects that behavior to any VCL control derived from TWinControl."
