Hi Guys,

I'm in the process of developing an ActiveX control which is designed to check the status of an installation and the config of that installation if it is there.

I'm 5/6ths of the way there, but in one of my steps, I rely on a 3rd party DLL's functions to check the config of the install. Now I'm not 100% sure but I think that these functions are trying to access the registry, and I'm not sure if ActiveX is allowed to do this (or if it is, then how it should be set up to do this).

If anyone know how to check if a control is trying to access the registry, please let me know so that I can find out -or- if you're familiar with referencing dlls from ActiveX controls, are there any major pitfalls i should be avoiding?

Many thanks in advance!
