  I tried with Forms.TextBox
  
  The invalid operation exception occurs in Detail_Format.
  
  The sample attached.

  Hello,

  Please use the following code in form_load method

  
   Dim rpt As New SectionReport1()
          rpt.Run()
          AddHandler rpt.Sections("Detail").Format, AddressOf rptDetail_Format
          Viewer1.LoadDocument(rpt.Document)
  
  

  Thanks,

  Your code works without AddHandler …
  
  But does not work in “syncDocument” mode.
  
  Remarks from AR12 help documentation:
  
  If the report document is linked to a viewer control the report will synchronize the viewer display and load pages as soon as they have completed rendering.

  Hello,

  Use the following line of code in “Detail_Format” of section report

  CustomControl1.Control.Invoke(Sub()
                                           CustomControl1.Control.Text = "I set System.Windows.Forms.TextBox"
                                       End Sub)
  

  Also, Please set the “ImageType” of the custom control to “PNG”.

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,

  Thank you.
  
  Perhaps this will help me add my own ActiveX control (with workarounds) that works in AR2 COM.
