    Creating ActiveX Controls at Run-Time

    Hello. Sorry if this question has been answered before on this website, but I could not find anything useful enough with the search function.
    I would like to have a very simple introduction to ActiveX/COM/OLE, specifically how to create ActiveX Objects at run-time, without MFC, only pure Win32 API. I am really sure that this is possible, I just don't know how to do it.
    If anyone could explain, point to the correct API as a lead, or direct me to a beneficial tutorial, I will be very glad. Thank you.
    Best Regards,
    seec77

    Damn UComics! It was probably unprofitable for them to allow us to just download Garfield and Calving & Hobes strips... so they made folder indexing unallowed on their server!!!

    I am 33% addicted to Counterstrike. What about you?
    I am 23% addicted to Star Wars. What about you?
    I am 0% addicted to Tupac. What about you?

    You need to write a compiler if you want to create ActiveX objects at runtime...

    Or at least something quite similar.

    Do you want to create new ActiveX objects or new instances of ActiveX objects? If you are only using win32 api, I have one thing to say: good luck, prepare yourself for pages of unreadable boilerplate code.

    Well, I was hoping to create an instance of an ActiveX control, sorry for the confusion. Well, this pretty much busts my enthusiasm... so how can I do it with MFC/ATL?
