Re: activex as ui for com

All I need is simple commands to be send from activex
to COM object. Both lives in same parent process. Parent initialize
COM, so I thought that activex which sits in parent could only send user
defined
messages with commands to that COM object.
Without necessity usuing e.g sink between these two. (what advantage would
be if any in such case?)
thanks
