Inserting ActiveX controls using command-line compiler

Aloha-

Can anybody recommend a good tutorial that will discuss inclusion of ActiveX controls in Windows programs using non-VC++ compilers? I have the Borland command-line compiler and a decent resource editor, and I have just acquired a CD with a bunch of premade ActiveX controls that I want to play with. I am looking for something to explain the code that has to be written to include a control, and how to incorporate it into the resource editor. Basically, should I bother doing this with the Borland tools or should I just learn Visual Basic?
