Simple Active-X, how-to

[Morten Snedker]

Just for the sake of learning, I'm trying to make a simple Active-X in
VB.NET.

It should contain the MonthCalendar control, a date should be picked,
and the Active-X control would return the date to the application
using it.

I've dropped the MonthCalendar on a form (using Windows Control
Library - is this the right one?). And then what?

Craeting simple windows app's I can do, but on this Active-X thing I'm
quite lost. Could someone push me in the right direction with a simple
example or link(s) ?

Thx for any input as well as any time spent on this thread.

Regards /Snedker

You might want to check out this section of the documentation:

...and try this walkthrough:
