Problems getting custom plugins to be recognized

[reneuend]

I've been trying to get my OCX files to be set up as plugins, but AM is not recognizing the controlname. I've tried just building a very simple one but still the same issue. I also tried on an earlier version of AM to no avail....

I used the ProgID tool to make sure I was setting up the projectname and controlname correctly.

Details:

AMTextbox.ocx
ProgID: AMTextbox.txtbox

Method Declaration:
.AMTextbox ([nLeft As Integer = 100], [nTop As Integer = 100], [nWidth As Integer = 150], [nMaxLen As Integer = 50])

Code: Select all

'STARTUP Tab Code:
Const PROGRAM_ID = "AMTextbox.txtbox"

Code: Select all

'Frame Properties Code:
Component("txtbox").Object.AMTextbox 100,100,150,50

Error1: The component named "txtbox" could not be found.
Error2: Object required: 'Component(...)'

Any ideas?

Have you used Action.AddComponent "PROGID", "COMPONENTNAME" to add your component properly? It's kinda tricky, refer to the step-by-step guide in the help files
