With the DLL's it's dependant on what they were written in and how, but most *.ocx's should work fine.

For ocx files...
Open a project in Visual Studio, expand the "Toolbox", right-click anywhere in the Toolbox and click "Add/Remove Items", click "COM Components", click "Browse"...locate the file on your harddrive in the the Browse dialog and click "Open", make sure that the control is checked in the list, and then click "OK". The control should show up in the list of controls on the Toolbox, and you can drag&drop one onto your form.

For dll's...
Open a project in Visual Studio, right-click on "References", click "Add Reference", click "Browse", locate the file and click "Open". The DLL will show up in a list at the bottom and you can click "OK". Visual Studio will determine whether or not it can use the DLL, and if not it will let you know.

In that event, you're going to need to call on the DLL in your code, so you'll need the exact names of the functions as they're known in the DLL. If you need the code for referencing a DLL at runtime, let me know.

how do i include dlls ocxs and everything in one exe

If I understand U correctly ...
Input: dlls, ocxs, souce code.
Output: one exe file which includes all input inside that exe (U distribute only one exe without dlls and ocxs because they are already included in exe)

Is it IT what U want?

Best regards,
Krzemo.

Krzemo: I tried asking that same question just recently with no resolution. That is how I understood the question as well tho'. Do you have a way of doing that?

usfeb14: Unless someone else has a solution I am unaware of, I was forced to continue using a self executing zipfile that unzips the app and supporting files into a safe location and executes it from there.

Anyone else?

As far as I know... there isn't a way where u can deploy one exe with all the dlls n ocx inside it.

Only in VC++ there is a way by including as MFC Static library.

An alternative is using install sheild
