Re: dll and ocx

Dll stands for Dynamic link library, contains methods and procedures but not the GUI.

OCX are COM Components, contains GUI as well as methods and properties etc. OCX are reuseable components...

well, I think it's possible to do so, you can store a "custom resource" inside a dll, provided that you know how the PE-file format works. I've seen people doing this. Also, I've done it for storing a custom string (it's binary). Due to this fact, you cal "virtually" store anything you want inside the DLL. AFAIK, DLL is just another PE file. PE = Portable Executable

dll and ocx

hi,
a dll is used to contain exported function, exported classes, and com objects, and i has to be registered only if u have com objects,
activeX house com objects and hence needs to be always registered.
