When the same control is placed on a dialog in Visual C++ resource editor, the context menu shows menu items under ActiveXcontrol object sub menu. When the same control is placed on a Visual Basic form, the context menu shows menu items. CAUSE ===== String resources for these verbs are defined in Afxctl.rc. This file is not included in an ActiveX control project by default. When project settings are changed to link to MFC static library, this file should be included in the project by Visual C++ IDE. RESOLUTION ========== - Open an ActiveX control project in IDE. - Select the view/resource includes menu item. - Add #include statement in compile-time directives list. - Ignore the warning you receive when you click OK. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
