Hi,

We are trying to use an ActiveX control made using the OCX96 specification with Powerbuilder 6. It is a transparent window control. But, when used in a Powerbuilder window, the control appears with a window. Does this mean that PB6 does not fulfill the OCX96 specification requirement (it supports ActiveX Ctrls otherwise) ? 'Coz the control works perfectly fine with VC++ and VB.

We also tried the MFC sample windowless control and still it shows a control window in the PB6 window.

Is there some extra setting or something needed in PB for this because the OCX96 specification says that the client has to implement an extra interface viz. IOleInPlaceSiteWindowless ?

Please help urgently !!

Thanx,
