Using LEdit with Visual Basic

LEdit has good OCX and VBX wrappers, that may be easily used with Microsoft Visual Basic as well as with any other development environment that supports OCX or VBX custom controls. LEdit itself is a Dynamic Link Library (LEDIT.DLL or LEDIT32.DLL), OCX and VBX wrappers use the DLL and expose it to you. It's Bly recommended to use OCX control over VBX one if it's possible.

OCX wrapper has some nice features that are absent in LEdit itself, such as an ability to mix LEdit's built-in menu with form's menu. OCX wrapper exists for both 16-bit and 32-bit Windows and both forms are completely compatible (except that in 16-bit VB string variables cannot be larger than 32K).

OCX wrapper comes with setup program that puts necessary files into the WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory of your computer and registers them appropriately.

VBX wrpapper is still supported for the users that didn't switch yet to the OLE controls. It works with 16-bit Windows only.

Both OCX and VBX wrappers may be found in Shareware package.

Thank you for your interest in LEdit
