In order to use the ImageKit dll functions, the ImageKit dll files must be copied into a folder with a valid path or copied into the current folder.

Steps following installation

After installing the ImageKit, the following steps are needed in order to use the ActiveX control in a development container. (When using only DLL functions, these steps are not necessary).

Adding the ImageKit8 to the development environment

1. In VisualBasic 6.0
a. From the Project (P) menu, select "Components" (O)
b. In the Control tab of the "Components" dialog box, select "ImageKit8 ActiveX Control (Ansi version only)" and "ImageKit8 Thumbnail ActiveX Control (Ansi version only)". Then click the "OK" button.

2. In Visual C++ 6.0
a. From the Project (P) menu, move the mouse cursor to "Add to Project" (A) and select "Components and Controls" (P)
b. From the "Components and Controls Gallery" select "Registered ActiveX Controls"
c. Choose the ImageKit8 control (Ansi version only) that you want to add and click the "Insert" button

3. In VisualBasic.NET, and VisualC#.NET, VisualC++.NET
a. From the "Tools" menu click on "Add/Remove Toolbox Items"
b. Select the "COM Components" tab and then select the ImageKit8 control you want to add (Unicode or Ansi version). Click the OK button.

* Note: When the ImageKit8 is installed, the ImageKit8 32 bit Ansi version and ImageKit8 32 bit Unicode version are both automatically registered. If you would like to use the 64 bit versions, please register the 64 bit versions.

Registering or Unregistering the ImageKit8
To manually register or unregister the ImageKit8, execute the following functions from "Run" the Start Menu

(To Register) REGSVR32 "[path]\ImageKit8.ocx"
(To Unregister) REGSVR32 "[path]\ImageKit8.ocx" /U

Where [path] is the path to the ImageKit8 ocx

The same procedure is used to register or unregister the ImageKit8 Thumbnail control.
