I'm trying to use an Windows CE ActiveX control in a C# Form. The documentation for AXHost states:
You typically do not use the AxHost class directly. You can use the Is there something else I should be doing? Thanks
When I run AxHost, I get the following error:AxImp Error: Did not find a registered ActiveX control in 'c:\wf\WMPCEOCX.dll'.
There are, unfortunately, multiple problems with this scenario.
First, CF does not provide an implementation of AxHost, and does not support ActiveX hosting "out of the box".
Second, CF does not support use of AxImp (largely because we do not provide an implementation of AxHost, upon which AxImp relies).
Third, since the control you are attempting to use is not a desktop control, it is not registered on your development desktop, which I believe can lead to problems with AxImp.
The good news is that despite the fact that we do not provide an AxHost implementation, everything you need to host an ActiveX control is provided by CF. Unfortunatley, you will need to write your own implementation of an AxHost, which is relatively complex, and I have no good references or documentation I can point you to at this time.
