Tjaalie, can you not use the resed to make your dialog, and then manually create an active x control on the dialog during the WM_INITDIALOG message?

You don't.  ActiveX is COM (Component Object Model) technology, and has nothing to do with resource dialogs.

Microsoft's development environments simply abstract the process of linking to a registered component.  ActiveX components are not actually anything like native windows widgets and can't be "dropped" onto forms/windows.

By the way, COM is gradually falling out of favor at Microsoft and elsewhere.  Despite attempts to revitalize or save it (including DCOM and COM+), the component object model has proved too limited.  It has no cross-platform capability, can only be effectively developed for with C++*, and has an organizational structure that can scare small children**.

.NET, one must admit grudgingly, is far more intelligently designed.

* There are always some work-arounds, but it's more difficult and time consuming to write modules in C (and close to impossible in many other languages).  This is somewhat ironic, because virtually all of Win32 (the API) is C, and COM was initially introduced around the same time.

** I wish most COM programmers had taken a good look at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes before they became developers.  That would have scared them away pretty nicely.
