Compile project & components to make single exe file
Hopefully someone will be able to help me with the following.
I have created a project which contains a number of ActiveX controls etc. When I have finished my project I want to be able to compile the project and all these files into a single file so that the user cannot access them by any means, is this possible?
Thanx in advance
Mandy

Yes, in your project use Add usercontrol and add the myControl.ctl file to the project. Your user control now is compiled into the executable

The short answer I believe is "NO". Isn't this the point of ActiveX controls that you can share them amongst other programs?
(But I am intrigued as to why you should want to do this - If he can't access them "by any means", how do you intend to make the program run?)

Having just read the comment from corvanderlinden.

You do not need another linker. I have done this many times (VB6)
corvanderlinden comment is good if and only if you have the source code of all your components. Otherwise, my comment is the only way to go.

40 points to emoreau, as you have pointed me in the direction of a product that will work even with my older control that I no longer have the code for. Thanks.
