Forget the above. When you import the ActiveX Control into delphi, the .dcr file is created automatically in the imports directory. Just edit that one.<br />

I don't really want to ask all of my customers to edit the icon every time they import my activex control! Anyway, this doesn't work for VB users etc.<br />
<br />
There must be a simple way to change the icon that is compiled into the .ocx file.

Should be easy for someone who knows:<br />
<br />
How do I change the icon image for an ActiveX control that I am trying to build in Delphi 5?<br />
<br />
By default it comes up as those funny 3d shapes. <br />
<br />
I know how to do it when creating custom VCL components (ie you create the .dcr file using image editor), but it doesn't seem to work on ActiveX components.<br />
