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 ImageKit9 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 "ImageKit9 ActiveX Control (Ansi version only)", "ImageKit9 Thumbnail ActiveX Control (Ansi version only)" and "ImageKit9 WebCamera 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 ImageKit9 *** Control (Ansi) that you want to add and click the "Insert" button (*** refers to the specific ImageKit9 control name)

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 ImageKit9 control you want to add (Unicode or Ansi version). Click the OK button.

* Note: When the ImageKit9 is installed, the ImageKit9 32 bit Ansi version and ImageKit9 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 ImageKit9
To manually register or unregister the ImageKit9, execute the following functions from "Run" the Start Menu

(To Register) REGSVR32 "[path]\ImageKit9.ocx"
(To Unregister) REGSVR32 "[path]\ImageKit9.ocx" /U

Where [path] is the path to the ImageKit9 ocx

The same procedure is used to register or unregister the ImageKit9 Thumbnail control and ImageKit9 WebCamera controls.
