MFC -> COM, ActiveX

[RK]

Is there any fast way to convert an MFC application into an ActiveX control or Com object?

Hi : Not sure about what specifically you are asking for. Because it depends upon your app architecture. Let me assume you are talking about a simple Dlg based Exe than Just Insert a new ATL object in it with all the default settings and here you go. Note that your app main thread can now be an owner of a COM object . Simply call CoCreateInstanceEx() from your client code and your COM object will be instantiated.. Anyway for your information. Any object inherited from IUnknown is called a COM object and a COM object which is self registering is called an ActiveX control (simple is that)

thanks! what I am trying to do is to move an existing document/view architecture MFC app into a form whereby it could be placed on an IE browser and do the same stuff...essentially, I have an existing MFC exe and I want to create an ActiveX out of it so it could be embedded into an html page and do the same stuff? thanks
