I was wondering if anyone had had issues using ActiveX controls in on ADS BITSYX Windows CE.Net platforms. I am porting a Visual Studio 6.0 MFC GUI application for the desktop to Windows CE.Net. One of the controls is a MSFlexGrid ActiveX control. A CWnd-derived wrapper class calls Create which then uses CreateControl() to create the MSFlexGrid control. Upon running the application, I get a crash while the ActiveX control is being created thru CreateControl(). The desktop application runs fine, while the Windows CE app. fails to create the ActiveX control. I tested one of the sample examples provided in Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 documentation, which also crashes on creating the ActiveX control thru CreateControl(). The error message says that the registry key was not created.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!

They have grid, charting, and zip component for CF

Desktop controls (like the MSFlexGrid) will not work under CE for a few reasons:

CE and XP/NT have different API sets. The control likely uses APIs that don't exist in CE
ADS devices use a completely different processor architecture (ARM) than desktop machines (x86)

There are vendors such as ComponentOne and Resco that have a fairly large offering of commercial controls.
