Can VB Migration Partner convert 3rd-party ActiveX controls?
• Yes, it can. We provide a command-line tool named AxWrapperGen, which you can use to create wrapper classes for ActiveX controls that VB Migration Partner doesn’t support out of the box. You can fine-tune, modify, and extend these wrapper classes – if necessary – and control how properties of the original ActiveX controls are imported or translated. Finally, you just need to compile the wrapper classes into a DLL and drop it in a directory recognized by VB Migration Partner (VB Migration Partner recognizes DLLs located in its installation folder or in any directory mentioned in an AddLibraryPath pragma), so that the next time you run the tool it will recognize the additional controls. (An individual DLL can provide support for multiple ActiveX controls.
