SUMMARY
=======
When a UserControl contains one or more controls that require run-time licenses,
the UserControl implicitly becomes a licensed control (requires run-time
license). As a result, when you use the Controls.Add method to add the
UserControl dynamically, you must precede it by a call to the Licenses.Add
method and provide the license key for the call.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you create a UserControl named, for example, MyProject.MyUserControl, that
contains one or more controls that require a run-time license,
MyProject.MyUserControl acquires a run-time license implicitly. Therefore, if
you use the Controls.Add method to add MyProject.MyUserControl dynamically, or
call Licenses.Add "MyProject.MyUserControl" without providing the license key,
you get the following error message:
Run-time error '429': You do not have an appropriate license to use this
functionality.
To make this work, you must obtain MyProject.MyUserControl's license key on the
development computer with the following code:
Debug.Print Licenses.Add ("MyProject.MyUserControl")
Then, in the client code, you can use the following code to dynamically add
MyProject.MyUserControl:
Licenses.Add "MyProject.MyUserControl", "License Key"<BR/>
Form1.Controls.Add "MyProject.MyUserControl", "ControlName"
