I've asked PB if this is doable but have not gotten a reply. I need to 
convert a VB6 app that uses 3rd party OCXs on a dialog. I have Classic 
PBWin (v8) and its associated PBForms app. I can see where PBForms' 
toolbox has a 'Custom Control' button but can't find any documentation 
as to how it works. I can see oodles of documentation that PB supports 
DLLs/OCXs but can't find any info about using OCXs on a dialog.

So far, I've been able recreate the UI in C++ via MFC dialog-based app. 
I'm not looking forward, though, to the amount of work involved with 
converting (rewriting) all the code to C++.

Since most of the VB code will work 'as is' in PB, I'd appreciate any 
pointers for using these OCXs on a PB form...
