ActiveX on Visual C++ 6 Tutorial

Question

Hi people.

I have to build an application based in an ActiveX library (MIL for Matrox framegrabbers). The library should be already working, since it compiles and run a console application provided as example. (Yes, the console application is probably not using any ActiveX at all... I actually don't know)

The application will set times, frames per second, etc.

I never used Visual C++ before (I have some poor C programming skills), let alone an ActiveX library. I'm not even able to get an "Ok Cancel" dialog to work...

I need the most basic ever vc6 + ActiveX tutorial.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Here is an example - how to create a control (you already have one) and how to interact with it.

One more question - why VC++ ? Programming of COM clients are much simpler in VB...
