activex?

[C Williams]

Hi,

I'm trying to build an object that I can drop onto a powerpoint slide
and then edit/customize. With old VB, I gather I could do something
like this by building an activex ocx.

How do I do such a thing with .NET?

Thanks!

..NET Windows Forms controls can only be hostet inside MSIE, but not in VB6,
PowerPoint, ... You can use VB6 to create the ActiveX control.

Is there anything that I can build from within .NET that I can then use
in Powerpoint (or excel, etc)? Something that I can then interact with,
similar to how I can interact with MSGraph once it is inside an office app.

Thanks!

AFAIK, no.
