Hi Diogo,

I don't recall having any problems with registering the control; doesnt VS register it for you automatically after building it? AFAIK, that ought to be enough to make it appear in the test container. It is also possible to register it manually using the regsvr32 exe. Maybe there was a problem with it which meant registration failed? It'd be worth looking for errors/debug-output etc when the registration takes place to check this.

In terms of references, I just found stuff of the web; heres a few (probably random) links from when I was researching it:

The trick seemed to be to get the wizard set up right to do most of the work for you, then tweak/extend as needed at the source code level afterwards.

HTH,
Steve
