问题
I am new to ActiveX Controls, though I have some basic background in COM/ATL programming.
Steps
The project is a simple Win32 project created using the Visual Studio 2012 wizard. I have selected all the default options. The dialog box is created using the resource editor dialog and then selecting new dialog option.
Problem
In my application I want to host the Internet Explorer (or some other) activex control in a dialog box. But the problem is that when I right click (as suggested by many sites and even msdn) the insert activex control ... is always disabled. I am not using MFC, but instead CAxDialogImpl (as described here).
Please suggest what I am doing wrong? How can I enable insert activex control ... in Visual Studio 2012 dialog editor?
回答1:
I took considerable time to enable it, but the answer is simple: remove the macro "_APS_NO_MFC" in "resource.h" file.
回答2:
A plain Win32 dialog does not have ActiveX container support, so the resource editor will not let you add the control.
You'll need to create a second project like an MFC dialog-based app, then copy the control information from its RC file.
CodeProject has some articles on using ActiveX controls without MFC, such as this one using parts of ATL - Win32 dialog helpers or this one that's pure C++ but similar to ATL's AxWindow - Use an ActiveX control in your Win32...
