Hi
Please let me know how are OCX files produced in VB. I am just aware that it denotes activexcontrols. But how and when are they generated and where are they stored. Is it that i include any activexcontrol in my VBP and generate an exe out of the application , the OCX files are produced? Please clarify.

The .ocx files are part of VB and are stored in your computer. They were loaded to your computer when you installed VB.
When you include a control in your program they are added to the list of supporting files, and need to be included if you package an executable.
Do a search on your computer for *.ocx to find the directory where all the ocx's are stored

If you are asking how to make an OCX, when you start VB6 choose ActiveX control instead of Standard EXE.
When you are done making the control go to File and you will see
"Make Project.ocx"
This is what you will use in your Application or Webpage.

Most of the time they are stored in the path C:\Windows\System or C:\Windows\System32 (WIN NT). THey can be written in any number of languages. Visual BASIC, C++, etc. WHen they are compiled, they are registered with the system registry, and once registered, they are available for use in other programs. Registering them with the system registry helps the computer locate them.
