If you want to create a control container the best way is probably to take a look at the "ActiveX Control Test Container" that shipped with VC6. The source code for it is availbale if you hunt around on Google and it contains a very thorough and pretty readable implementation of every single ActiveX container interface. I used this when I was writing a Powerpoint style app some years ago and my app was able to succesfully host actual Powerpoint shows in its douments as well as form controls, grids, its own controls and support scripting them all like a browser as well. It wasn't a small or an easy project but it would have been pretty much impossible without a rock solid working example of a general container. :)
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.
