I'm having a hard time finding documentation on where I need to put the SimplyVBUnit.dll and SimplyVBUnitUI.ocx files so I can run the tutorial in this question: Gutzofter's mini tutorial on SimplyVBUnit. Where exactly do I need to reference or register these files so I can create unit tests with VB6?

When I open the source above it says it cannot load SimplyVBUnitUI.ocx and I get the following error in the associated log file: 

Line 13: Class SimplyVBUnitUI.SimplyVBUnitCtl of control SimplyVBUnitCtl1 was not a loaded control class.

In order to add the ocx manually, you need to add it to the toolbox then put an instance of the UI control on a form. You will also need a reference to the dll which has the framework. Then make the form the startup object. If you installed SimplyVBUnit using an installer, there is a form in the Projects template folder (frmSimplyVBUnitRunner I think). You can copy that to the Forms templates and just add a new form (the runner form) to the project that will contain your tests.

  • Is there a place I can find the installer for version 3.0? – NexAddo Sep 13 '11 at 18:37
  • You can find it on source forge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/simplyvbunit/. You'll have to dig through the File menu to find it. If you download the source code version, there is a GUI Project folder that has the form (and new project) as well. – Kelly Ethridge Sep 13 '11 at 18:48
  • The installer worked fine. I just don't know why it won't allow me to compile it from source. – NexAddo Sep 15 '11 at 15:33

Have you registered them?

Use Start-Run and run regsvr32 <full-path-to-file>. Repeat this for the OCX and the DLL
