Hi,
I apologize for posting this message already in the thirdpartytools but 
I think that here is the most appropriate place to post it.

I am having problems importing an ActiveX Component into Tool Palette. I 
read the help and it seems to me that I do not get two radio buttons.
I go to "Import Component", click "Import ActiveX Control",
and select 
it from the list on the next window. Then on the next window, which 
indicates "Palette Page:  ActiveX", I click next. So far, so good.

On the following window I get a radio button with the only option 
"Create Unit". On top of the window it is written "Choose to
create a 
unit or add the created unit to an active package. After the unit is 
added to a package it can be installed through the Install Packages
dialog."

The help says that I should have "Install to Existing Package" and 
"Install to New Package" but I do not get these options.

If I click "Finish" (with the only radio button "Create
Unit") it opens 
the .cpp file of the ActiveX and that's where I am stuck.

I also followed and advice from Mark Guerrieri of 5/15/2007, opened a 
new project, clicked "Finish" and then tried to compile the package. 
Unfortunately, I got an error in the TCOMIcomponentName definition in 
the .h file of the ActiveX component. In the same .h file there was a 
message that I may need to upgrade my UTILCLS.H file, which I do not 
know how to do. Don't I have the most current??? I never had problems 
with BCB 5.0. There, it was strait forward.


How can I install the ActiveX into the IDE? I never had problems with 
BCB 5.0. There it was strait forward.

Thanks,
