I know how to modify ocx properties.
How do you set a property that can not be changed at run time?
Is there a way to set the initial value for a ocx property?
Does the lack of response mean that it can't be done?
Jim:
I believe you need to be executing your control in design time mode to set the design-only properties. The following link may help explain the issues.

and how would one do this "design time mode" in OI?
Jim
are you trying to have the controls be active in design mode in the form-designer? That is not supported yet.

This is what I said in the original message.
"I know how to modify ocx properties. How do you set a property that can not be changed at run time? Is there a way to set the initial value for a ocx property?"
I know they can not be active in form designer, but given that; how do you give an initial value to a property that can not be changed at run time?
Or can it not be done.
Jim
I guess the answer is no.
Perhaps you could use Vb or Delphi to wrap your own control around the one you are trying to use, set the design time properties there.

Is something like this going to be available in 7.0?
No, sorry.
It's on the list for 7.1
Oh well (I guess I'll wait until 7.1), any chance of taking a look at the latest 7.0 beta?
