Add an ActiveX control to a form

Hi Experts !

i have a dll which actually is a ".ocx" file from a specific external device and I need to include this activeX in my appliaction/Form.

So I had the reference to the ".ocx" file or ".dll" but then I cannot see any new control appearing in the toolbox to be able to drag it to my forms ... (I've done it once and was able to have this "control" physically on my form like any other control) but
can't do it anymore !!!!

Is someone can help on that ?
Hopefully I was clear enough in my explications ...

As usual : big big thanks in advance, your help is so much appreciated !

You'll have to select the COM Components tab. If it's registered, it should show up.

Make that toolbox, not toolbar. Right-click where you select controls to put on the form.
