ZD Screen Recorder SDK – ActiveX Control

Usage of the legacy ActiveX control (OCX) of ZD Screen Recorder SDK


Although the usage of ActiveX controls is generally associated with legacy systems and is less common in modern .NET development due to security concerns and compatibility issues with newer technologies, ZD Screen Recorder SDK continues to offer an ActiveX control (OCX) to support both native and legacy development environments. To utilize the ActiveX control in Visual Studio, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the SDK download page to download a standalone ZIP package of the SDK to your computer, unzip the package into a designated folder where you typically store third-party SDKs or components.
  2. Copy the runtime binaries from the SDK’s `ScnLib\bin\x86\*.*` to `ScnLib\ocx\x86\ScnLibX\` directory if you are on a 32-bit system, or from `ScnLib\bin\x64\*.*` to `ScnLib\ocx\x64\ScnLibX\` directory for a 64-bit system. After copying the files, locate the `RegOCX.bat` file in the destination directory, right-click on it, and choose “Run as administrator” to register the ActiveX control in your system.
  3. Go to Visual Studio’s “Tools” menu and click “Choose Toolbox Items”. In the “Choose Toolbox” dialog box that appears, click the “COM Components” tab. Select the checkbox next to the `ZD Screen Recorder SDK Control`, and then click “OK”. The ActiveX control should now appear with the other tools in the Toolbox.
  4. Once the ActiveX control is in the toolbox, you can add it to your Windows Form by double-clicking the control in the Toolbox. Visual Studio will add all necessary references to the control in your project automatically.
After completing these steps, the ActiveX control should be ready to use within your project. You can then proceed to program the control as per your application’s requirements.
