Hi,

Get message "Note: You will need the OCX Control Development Kit to

Also, compiling code gives following errors

It doesn't help to relax type checking.

Thanks.

1. Where is that message coming from?
2. I'm guessing, not seeing your source code, that you're passing a char
string where
 a wchar_t string is expected.

I guess this is because of

_szLicString declared as "static const char" instead of "static const
TCHAR"

and

_szLicFileName declared wrongly like that.

I have manually changed it a couple of times. Once a complete run
throught the IDDE has been done I guess this problem will be resolved...
<Sorry>

On the OCX Control Development Kit... Try to compile the project... I
have never needed it so far...

Again relaxing type checking and setting Char behaviour to unsigned 
doesn't help.

I think you might have to use WCHAR instead of TCHAR... sorry...

Relaxed type checkiing won't help you as a pointer to a 'byte' sized area is
too different from a pointer to a 'word' sized area...
