frame control in an activex control

Hi there, I'm fairly new with Activex controls so please bare with me if what I am asking is very simple.

I have an activex control that has a frame control built into it. What I want is that frame control to still be useable when it's put onto a form. What I mean is, that frame control on the activex control can still hold other controls added into it.

When I tried to do create this activex with a frame control, then put it on a form, and then tried to add controls to the frame, they just sat on top of the activex without adding.

I've yet to figure out how to do this so if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative!
