when i insert my ActiveX into a pocket PC project my application wont start

I don't under stand what is going on here, but I developed an activeX for windows CE (well, i developed it for desktop windows also) but when i insert it into an application, all of a sudden the application won't start. There isn't even an error. I just start the application on the windows CE device and nothing happens. I remove the activeX and the program runs fine. Whats weird is that the same activeX (and when i mean same i mean the same exact files for both destop and mobil projects) works on the desktop just fine. Does anyone know what is going on?

Is it an MFC application? If it is, when you created the project, did you specify ActiveX support in Step 2 of the WCE MFC AppWizard?stober at 2007-11-9 12:22:44 >

are you using ppc 2002? you need to implement IObjectSafety interface, otherwise it will generate a silent exception and may affect your application. check out microsoft site for a related KB article.Elenjickal at 2007-11-9 12:23:44 >

In the OnInitInstance() in <your application name>.cpp see if it looks like below. I experienced your same problem when I forgot to check the "ActiveX Controls" checkbox in Step 2 of the WCE MFC AppWizard.BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()
{
// The following line enables ActiveX controls
AfxEnableControlContainer();
}

stober:> does the AfxEnableControlContainer go into the application that is using the activeX or the ActiveX's project??I Tried putting it in the Container's project and it did not help.

:)Sorry stober you were right. I put the AfxEnableControlConatiner too far down in the InitINstances() function. So it wasn't being called. I put it at the top and it works fine. :)
Thanks man
