I'm new to ActiveX stuff, although have quite a bit experience with MFC,
so please bear with me. Want I want to do, is create a custom control
that is a 'collection' standard MFC widgets. Basically a listbox, with
some other widgets for narrowing down the results in it, but the client
app only sees what the user finally selects in the list box. I want to
use this collection of controls in a number of different places and apps
too.

So first question, am I barking up the right tree, by trying to
implement this as an ActiveX control?

I've created an project using the wizard in VS.NET '03, I've enabled the
'Act as a simple frame control' option. As my initial searchs on the net
and in msdn, pointed out using the ISimpleFrameSite interface for this.

Problem is, when I use this control, All I get displayed is the default
circle and rectangle drawn in the overidden OnDraw function. Any widgets
I add to the PropertyPage aren't displayed at all.

So basically my question is, how do I get the ActiveX custom control to
display the PropertyPage?
