Note

An ActiveX control compiled by using Visual C++ 6.0, when embedded in a dialog box in a project developed by using Visual C++, may cause your program to assert at run time. In this situation, open the ATL or MFC project associated with the ActiveX control in Visual C++, and recompile it.. The assert will be in the file occcont.cpp, on this line in source: ASSERT(IsWindow(pTemp->m_hWnd)).
