Changing Containers for Controls in ActiveX dll's

Is it possible to change the container for an ActiveX Control in an ActiveX DLL to IE5 or place a form (which is the container for the control) into IE5?

To place the form in IE, you should develop it as activex document.

An activex control can straigt away placed in a webbrowser control, because WB is a container by itself.
But ,to put it in IE, you have to write a HTML page, which includes the control and control the IE (in automation mode) to load that page. ( i think) Take a look at OBJECT tag for HTML.

To hoist the ActiveX control a code like this also
works: Ex:

'WebBrowser must first navigate to a HTML file.
webbrowser1.Navigate "blank.htm"
'
WebBrowser1.Document.Open
' this would create a calender control on the
' webbrowser window.
WebBrowser1.Document.Write "<object id=calendar classid=clsid:8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02 width=372 height=279></object> "
WebBrowser1.Document.Close
msgbox "The month is:" + str(WebBrowser1.Document.calendar.month)
