using the ActiveX control

**jverkoey** · 04-08-2004

I'd like to use the ActiveX control to incorporate my OST2 interpreter in to webpages, but the msdn info on ActiveX has you using template projects and mfc stuff that I don't like to use and isn't used in my interpreter. Is there any way to just USE ActiveX without having to have all of those project settings? or is it compiled like that for a reason? I've honestly never used the ActiveX control before, so any help would be appreciated. thank you

i'm going to googlize for a bit, see what comes up....

I asked the same question a year ago or so, with the same response...
I wonder i you could use the wrapper class generated by MFC as a starting point, and modify this to suit for WinAPI?
I never tried it, but next time i need an ocx in one of my progs, i'll try that, anyone..?

You should use ATL(ActiveX Template Library). Search the web for 'ATL tutorial'.

You can implement a control without helper classes or templates but it will be complex. You would need to start by implementing IClassFactory and go from there.
