what is an ocx control?
where can i get info regarding the same?
Do you mean user control? I think it is part of Active X control. When you compile it, you will create OCX.
OCX stands for OLE CONTROL Extension.As an example a command button is an ocx control.You can also build your own and then embed them using OLE technology in other applications like WOrd ,excel,PPT etc.
one of the good books available is teach Yourself ActiveX programming in 21 days by sybex
OCX was previously known as OLE Controls and now it has become OCX - OLE Controls Extension. We can create our own OCX Controls With Visual Basic 6.0 and u can just distribute to anyone like we are using combo box, list box they are all activeX controls (OCX Controls) for example we are using a graph control in VB 6.0 called Pinnacle graph control this will under the name called graph32.ocx see the extension like that every control will have a name with extension .ocx
We have lot of resources in the internet one good site is www.agendumsoftware.com where u'll have more abt ocx.
I think this would have helped u .
If not mail me .

How do we embed these OCX files into our exe applications?
You do not imbed them in your APP. You reference them in Projects/References and when distributing your app, you include the .ocx in the distribution.
