SUMMARY
If you are using a Visual Basic for MS-DOS custom control Quick library, you must load it using VBDOS.EXE and then swap to the Form Designer (FD.EXE) in order to use the control on a form. FD.EXE cannot load Quick libraries. This behavior is considered to be a software limitation.



MORE INFORMATION
To use a custom control with your application, start VBDOS.EXE with the /L option and enter the name of the Quick library you want to load. For example:

vbdos /l spin.qlb

To add or modify a custom control on your form, from the View menu, choose Form (or press SHIFT+F12), then select the desired form. This will open the Form Designer, where you can add or modify the custom control.
