Registration: DayTip.ocx is a self-registration file, but before a control can be used, appropriate entries must be created for it in the Windows registration database. REGISTER.EXE provides a dialog item for users to register new controls (the files will default to DAYTIP.OCX, but can be used for other controls), but this feature may not be useful for your application. Therefore, you may want your setup program to register the controls when they are installed. Microsoft provided a redistributable program, REGSVR32.EXE, which can be used to register controls. Just pass the complete path and filename of the control *.OCX file as an argument to REGSVR32: regsvr32 c:\daytip\daytip.ocx If you prefer, you can write your setup program to register the control directly instead, see the help file for more information. Note: DayTip.ocx is an ANSI control, which work on all Win32 operating systems, allow for maximum portability between the various Win32 operating systems. Unicode controls work on only Windows NT (version 3.51 or later), but not on Windows 95. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- License Agreement: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This software is licensed shareware.
