Relationship Between ActiveX Control and <OBJECT> tag

There is probably a very simple answer to this but it has been eluding me all day. I have a fairly simple ActiveX control that I have written which works as it should when displayed in a browser.

The problem I have is that I'm not sure what the HTML <PARAM NAME="" VALUE=""> tags within the <OBJECT> tag actually call within my control. I have added a property using class wizard and attempted to set it using the <PARAM> tag. However, the 'set' method for this property doesn't get called and the value doesn't seem to change. What am I missing? I am new to writing ActiveX controls so perhaps it's just me misunderstanding the fundamental way in which these controls function.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Have you looked at MSDN?

Thanks but I've searched and searched through MSDN but haven't found the answer I seek. The link you provided is specific to the HTML Help ActiveX control but still doesn't tell me what will be called within my control.

You have to implement IPersistPropertyBag interface in your coclass. See my explanations regarding MFC ActiveX here.

Thanks for your help, that's all I needed to know
