I need to embed a simple MFC GUI application into a website. It seems
that ActiveX is the way to do this. Does anyone have any ideas on how
to get this rolling?


First of all, you should really determine whether this is an actual *need*
or if it is someone misunderstanding the problem. What exactly would MFC
give you that you cannot gain using CSS, Java or some other web technology?
Secondly, ActiveX controls are typically used only for those portions of the
web GUI that cannot be achived by other means. Since it is a fairly
heavyweight technology, you will want to use it sparingly. Finally, unless
your control is signed using a valid certificate from a well-known
authority, nobody in their right mind will install it as your control could
do any number of bad things to a system.

If you really must use ActiveX for your project, there are various turorials
available. I suggest that you simply describe what you are trying to
achieve first. Perhaps you do not need ActiveX after all.
