Need a good unmanaged C++ OCX example

Question

I need a very simple and clear example of how to create an OCX in unmanaged C++ code. Ideally, I'd like to consume it in Office, but any container (i.e. VB6, .NET WinForms) should be good.

I am having trouble seeing how I can add controls to the OCX canvas... I have seen examples of opening dialogs from within the OCX's load event... but that is not what I want... I need the GUI in the OCX itself.

Have you looked at this Microsoft tutorial. It uses MFC. If you want to create a windowless control you would need to use ATL.
