Hi,

I am developing a simple, widget-like app in U++ that draws a graph. It occurred to me that this kind of widgets could be turned into COM servers to be used in third party applications. For example, in the case at hand, the user could embed a graph in Powerpoint and change the scale in real time, in the middle of a presentation.

However, I am quite inexperienced in programming ActiveX. I was wondering if someone has tried something similar.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Regards,

Kel

PS: There is an excellent example in Bazaar of OLE automation to control LibreOffice and Microsoft Office. But this is sort of the opposite case, and I haven't seen it anywhere and I personally don't know how (if?) it could be done.
