Goodday everybody...

I wish to know how do I call an ActiveX Exe created in VB, using a program written in VC++?

Thanks in advanced.

you'll need the CLSID of the object you want to create from the exe, the IID of the interface you want, and use CoCreateInstance:

CoCreateInstance(CLSID of object, NULL, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, IID of interface, variable that receives pointer to interface(a VOID**))

Do I need to import the EXE first? Or what should I do to link the EXE to my program?

btw i havent done any COM in C/C++ so this is a best guess, from what I know about COM
