Hi,
I have an ocx which was generated in VB 6.0 and which was able to do check for social security and phone nos. like wether user entered data is in xxx-xx-xxx format
and if its a phone then it would rather show (xxx)-xxx-xxxx where x being a digit
it had several checks and messages also. like for example if i was using that ocx in VB 6 itself in various project then itwas firing the events and validations

but as when I ploped that OCX as com component in tools and added that control it just not pops that message nor even events are fired !

ocx is registerd ! and path settings etc are ok !
