Hi everyone,
I changed from VC++ 6.0 to VC++ professional 2008
for a couple of days and I'm really confused about the big difference
between the two environments...
For instance I can't figure out how I can add ActiveX Controls
to a MFC Dialog based application.I imported the controls using:
Project -> Add Class -> MFC Class From ActiveX Control
and I can't find these imported controls in the IDE Toolbox...

Does someone have an idea?

Thank you

In VS2008, edit a dialog. In the ToolBox, right click on the top line
"Dialog Editor" and select "Choose Items".

Yes, I did have to hunt for this for awhile, the old References dialog from
previous VS.NET seems to have been repurposed. I guess the fact I found it
in a logical place can be somewhat of faint praise for the design of VS2008.
