But then, it makes me feel sorry for those who never learned.
Maybe I should start an advocacy organization for the latter.

Nick has specifically asked for feedback on problems with the IDE. I
think functionality that was previously available and even features
that are available but aren't installed by default both qualify. If
you want, this is an opportunity to get the legitimate parts of your
rant bumped up the priority list a little. Include as many *relevant*
details as you can, including QC reports and leave the hyperbole at the
door.

uploaded the 'matching' one from D2006, after the registry tweak.
I'm not an activex guru, so I can not say if it works right or indeed at
all, but, AFAICT, the "ActiveForm" wizard is the thing you're missing.
BTW, If you haven't already seen it, check out this old blog post from
Chris Bensen.
"Where's activeforms in D2005?"

being the official Borland support method. However I don't think it's
correct either that someone is to justify a product as big as BDS based
on the exact feature that one is using and not there. it is like me
saying VB(Visual Basic) sucks because it doesn't end a line with ';', ok bad example
there, VB(Visual Basic) does suck, but I hope you get my point.

that since Delphi 2005 IIRC (or Delphi 8), based on the project you had
active, different options appeared, and I thought maybe that was the
problem. In fact you can see that if you start an ActiveX library you
get like 10 different objects appear in ActiveX folder. In previous
versions you would get it all at once and get errors if you tried the
wrong combination. I see this as much more intuitive, but at first can
be misleading.

refund because it was not purchased directly from Borland. So, yes, it
changes everything, and yes, I am still out $430.

ARE MISSING!!!! "ActiveXControl" is the missing option and IT DOES NOT
APPEAR ON THAT PAGE BEFORE OR AFTER YOU DO THOSE STEPS/TWEAK THE REGISTRY OR
WHATEVER.
Please, for the love of God, does anyone else out there understand what it
means to create an ActiveX control -- not an ActiveForm -- from a
TWinControl??? Nick seems to "get" it, God bless him.
 

BTW, Liz, please stop posting these rationalizations. I am no idiot. In
fact, I appear to be one of only two people on this thread who even have a
clue what the missing functionality is, why it is important, and why it is
not just "my problem". The rest of you are just blaming the victim and
shooting spitballs.

with the BDS 2006 ActiveControl wizard screenshot, and b: your D6
screenshot has "ActiveForm" selected.
Please check out the two screenshots I posted earlier in attachments
NG: If the wizards are 'present' but not working correctly for you,
then filing a QC report would be helpful. If they're NOT showing up,
then check you have applied the registry fix correctly.

problem". I know the feature is important to you, and - as I have posted
before - Devco's product feature matrices should spell out what's been
REMOVED from earlier versions as well as what's been added. Some
features inevitably NEED to go, but not being up-front about it just
stores up problems down the line.
