Alex,

 

Please try the following to resolve the issue:

Make a call to: InitCommonControls(void) or InitCommonControlsEx(LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX lpInitCtrls)

 inside the InitInstance of ActiveX control.

This will loaded and initialized the common control libraryComctl32.dll which is not initialized by default by the Microsoft Visual Basic executables.

You can also try calling InitCommonControls directly from the Visual Basic client application:

Make a declaration for the corresponding Form like

Private Declare Sub InitCommonControls Lib "comctl32.dll" ()

Add a call to:

InitCommonControls
