How to Develope an Activex using existing controls

[viral_umang hotmail com]

Hi all! I want to develope an ActiveX TextBox control with additional features that doesn't exist in the current textbox component. Requirements 1) I want to use existing textbox control and enhance it to my requirements. 2) Is there any way using which we don't have to draw the control manually as it is in the case of VisualBasic? If anybody is having anykind of reading stuff give me the links. Viral Joshi.

Why ActiveX ? Why not just derive a class from CEdit (assuming you're using MFC) and add the required features in the derived class ?

Thanks for your reply but let me know how is it possible in Activex. But if i derived a class from CEdit then is it the ActiveX? And how can i use it as a control like textbox in other applications? Viral Joshi
