restrictions on distributing

[phil]

I am looking for the legal text that explians the restrictions on distributing VB's ActiveX's controls. Controls like flex grid and rich text.


I can not find where text that says I am allowed to or not allowed to.


Furthermore, does the environment matter. Some of my applications are Visual C++, but they call VB dlls. (Version 5.0 for both languages.)

Hi


As far as I'm aware, you can distribute any of the controls that come with

your edition of VB (professional/enterprise etc). You may want to check on the

Visual Basic web site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic for more information.


I think that Visual Basic Books-OnLine that came with VB5 (and 6?) also has

more information on distribution.


As for mixed environments, that should be fine if you're using COM dll's etc.

Remember though, that you'll have to create Setup.exe programs for your VB

components to ensure that all the relevant run-times are copied to the machine.

The only exception is if you place the DBGRID control on your own activeX control : this is not allowed !
