Create a Program with the MFC ActiveX ControlWizard

OverviewDetails

When you first create an ActiveX (formerly OLE) Control Program, you use the MFC ActiveX ControlWizard to lead you through a series of dialog boxes in which you choose options for the features and functions of your program.

The series is a branching path; you can move forward and backward through the steps and make changes to the options you have selected. Help is available for every option in the MFC ActiveX ControlWizard: right-click on the control for more information about each option.
