Using Activex Controls

[abdul]

I have created an activex control in vb that I would like to use in my C++ application. Is there any example that shows you how to use a vb or ATL (if both aren't same) activex control?

here is a very straight forward VB ocx used in VC++. The ocx will display the current system time.

hmm to me that sounds quite weird.. why would you want to distribute the VB Runtimes for only an ocx? to me that defeats the whole point of using c++, I use it because it's small and fast and doesn't need any runtimes... so why putting a VB OCX in a c++ app, yes, I've seen in the other way round (a c++ DLL for speed in a VB app)..
