We are using Property Grid Control OCX in our application.

We added the OCX control in our installer(InstallShield) but somehow the OCX is not getting installed using our installer. We want to distribute our application with the OCX, how can we install OCX in User system using our installer?

Are we missing any steps for correctly adding OCX to Install Shield?

Thought the installer should do it (InstallShield).

The Property Grid Dialog created in our application does not get invoked. We are using Visual Studio 2005.

if we install code jock Ocx with setup exe it is working fine. we just add the ocx into the installer Codejock.PropertyGrid.v13.1.0.ocx. it is getting registered. but MFC application not able to invoke this. do we need to include any other dlls of code jock in our installer

We are using the Property Grid ActiveX Control from C# Dialog as well as MFC Dialog.

While creating the Property grid in C# Dialog we didn't had any problem and we didn't embed any license info, not sure if interop is doing anything in the background.

But in MFC, while we are using Create method for property grid control we are getting Error Message as "Class is not licensed for use". We tried passing our license info in the argument bstrLickey of Create in following format -

"Property Grid Control Copyright (c) 2003-2009 Codejock Software
PRODUCT-ID: Codejock.PropertyGrid.ActiveX.v13.1
VALIDATE-CODE: XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX"

But this didn't work.

Do we need to modify the Create object for Property Grid in some way?
