Hi,
I am having problems importing an ActiveX Component into Tool Palette. I 
read the help and it seems to me that I do not get two radio buttons.
I go to "Import Component", click "Import ActiveX Control", and select 
it from the list on the next window. Then on the next window, which 
indicates "Palette Page:  ActiveX", I click next. So far, so good.

On the following window I get a radio button with the only option 
"Create Unit". On top of the window it is written "Choose to create a 
unit or add the created unit to an active package. After the unit is 
added to a package it can be installed through the Install Packages 
dialog."

The help says that I should have "Install to Existing Package" and 
"Install to New Package" but I do not get these options.

If I click "Finish" (with the only radio button "Create Unit") it opens 
the .cpp file of the ActiveX and that's where I am stuck.

How can I install the ActiveX into the IDE? I never had problems with 
BCB 5.0. There it was strait forward.

Thanks,
Julian

Create or open a package project, when prompted to
add the generated code to the package, say yes, then
right-click on the .bpl node in the project manager
and select "Install".

Thanks Craig,
The right-click on the .bpl node in the project manager
and select "Install" did the trick.
All the best,
Julian
