Re: activex as ui for com

Well not really. I have application which host that activex component which
is supposed to send command (like start,stop etc) to the COM which can be
activated also by that application. So my concern is only comminucation
between the activex and COM, if I can do it by e.g (SendMessage api) or
better way
is using sink.
