I want to get .NetCE (C#) to use a 3rd party ActiveX control that is
supplied for use with C++/VB only. Can I do this by creating a C++ wrapper
which C# can talk to? If not, how can I use the OCX?

TIA

You can use odysseysoftware.com wrapper or create a C++ wrapper and P/Invoke
from managed code. Creating the C++ wrapper would be the harder of the two.
 
Thanks Kennet, Mark

The Oddyssey Software control appears to do what I want but is horrendously
expensive IMHO; so it looks like a bespoke wrapper might be the way to go
....

Cheers

Hi Brian,

Could you give me more information about the ActiveX control you'd like to
use? We're looking for specific controls for feature planning and testing.

Thanks,
-Katie
