problem...with adding ActiveX dll control...

[zhajjar]

My aim is to add an ActiveX control to a CF appl. I know that CF .NET
doesn't support adding ActiveX controls directly, so i have to
implement a wrapper. So my question is, how should i do that?
in specific:
------------
1) shall i create the wrapper using eVC, unmanaged c++, managed
c++....
2) suppose i want the activeX to be Media Player, for example, how
should i implement this in the wrapper class?
3) when i'm done with the wrapper, i can call it as any .dll file from
my CF .NET app??

It's a big question, sorry 4 that!

If any hints or links suggested, plz help!

There is a very good commercial software CFCOM from Odyssey Software (http://www.odysseysoftware.com/cfcom_overview.html) that does exactly what you need. It comes with sample wrappers for media player, flash etc and you can practically integrate any com object in CF code.
