Create a new property page component

The easiest way to add support for property pages is to build a new Visual Basic control to expose the property pages for your extension. The new control can be used to administer extensions written in either Visual Basic or C++.

The following steps describe the process.

1. Launch Visual Basic, and create a new ActiveX Control project.
2. Select Add Property Page from the Project menu.
3. Assign the property page you have just added to the control. Use the "PropertyPages" property of the control to select the order of the pages.
4. Add property page controls as required to configure your extension. Save and compile the project.

You will also need to implement PropertyPage_SelectionChanged to retrieve a reference to the extension. See Communicate with the extension for further details.
