Answer 1

as far as i know, there's nothing like "converting an mfc executable to an activex". You can create an activex project from scratch and port your mfc codes to your activex project (possibly with some modification), build it and then get the dll.

Answer 2

There was a MIND article about this very topic entitled "Designing ActiveX Components with the MFC Document/View Model" here: http://www.microsoft.com/mind/0497/mfc.asp but that link no longer works.

A quick Google found a copy of the article here: http://blog.csdn.net/l12345678/archive/2007/07/27/1711521.aspx
