Hi Mike

I did a simple ocx control using VB6 and put it into a WinForm, it seems
work fine for me. Here is my steps:
1. In VB6, create an "ActiveX Control" Project,
2. Add a string type property using "Tools"->"Add procedure", note you
should declare the getter/setter method in public, so that it could be
visible in other ActiveX control containers.

<code>
Private my_string As String
Public Property Get myString() As String
myString = my_string
End Property

Public Property Let myString(ByVal vNewValue As String)
my_string = vNewValue
End Property
</code>

3. Make it into an ocx file.
4. Open VS.NET 2003 then create a new Winform project,
5. In Form DesignView, right click in the toolbox pane and select
"Add/Remove Items" from context menu. select "COM components" page and
browse to our ocx control, add it onto the toolbox, then drag it onto the
form.
6. If it works correctly, you should see the newly added property in
PropertyPane when you select the control. If you are using Categorized view
in PropertyGrid, it should under "Misc" category.

If you still have problem to see the custom property follow the steps above
or I misunderstood your problem, please feel free to let me know with more
detail information.

Thanks!
