SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 ATL Object wizard to create a Full control, the Ready State property is not listed on the Stock Properties tab.

RESOLUTION

To manually add the ReadyState property to the control, perform the following steps:

Add the following code to the interface definition in the control's Interface Definition Language (IDL) file:

interface IMyControl : IDispatch
{
...
   [propput, id(DISPID_READYSTATE)]
   HRESULT ReadyState([in]long state);
   [propget, id(DISPID_READYSTATE)]
   HRESULT ReadyState([out, retval]long* pstate);
...
};

Add the following code to the BEGIN_PROP_MAP definition in the control's header (.h) file:

BEGIN_PROP_MAP(CMyControl)
...
   PROP_ENTRY("ReadyState", DISPID_READYSTATE, CLSID_NULL)
...
END_PROP_MAP()

Add the following member variable to the control class definition in the control's header (.h) file:
```
LONG m_nReadyState;
					
```
