Hi, I have to find the projects that use an OCX control. One way I could think of is to grep for which VC++ projects include the control's headerfile, say search for &quot;reusecontrol.h&quot; It is quite likely the controls that use the header are using the control itself, though it is not guranteed.<br />
<br />
The other question that comes to my mind is, don't the OCX control have a unique GUIID that usually is written into the IDE managed resource script? Can I find the GUI from a project that I know uses the control, search for the GUIID in the other projects and thus determine the usage?<br />
<br />
What other techniques could be employed to accurately determine the OCX control usage?<br />
<br />

how to find OCX usage

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once

Visual C++.NET

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
