I want to build an ActiveX control using C++

Does anyone have a link that can serve as a tutorial - a how to guide?

Basically, I need to know how I may add properties, methods and events,
and how I can pass data in the raised events.

Thanks for that Bob, I got that bit done. Now I want to have an event
that passes an object as a pointer - however, when adding my event,
there is a fixed drop down box that does not allow me to type in the
corrcet data type (say MyObject*) - this is perhaps not suprising, since
MyObject will not be recognised in the IDL. Maybe I can pass the
pointer (opaquely), as a long ?

PS: I will be consuming this control in VB
