Registering OLE Controls
OLE controls, like other OLE server objects, can be accessed by other OLE-aware applications. This is achieved by registering the control's type library and class.
The following functions allow you to add and remove the control's class, property pages, and type library in the Windows registration database:

AfxOleRegisterTypeLib is typically called in a control DLL's implementation of DllRegisterServer. Similarly, AfxOleUnregisterTypeLib is called by DllUnregisterServer. AfxOleRegisterControlClass, AfxOleRegisterPropertyPageClass, and AfxOleUnregisterClass are typically called by the UpdateRegistry member function of a control's class factory or property page.
