AtlAxCreateControl

Creates an ActiveX control, initializes it, and hosts it in the specified window.

ATLAPI AtlAxCreateControl(
   LPCOLESTR lpszName,
   HWND hWnd,
   IStream* pStream,
   IUnknown** ppUnkContainer 
);

Parameters

lpszName
A pointer to a string to be passed to the control. Must be formatted in one of the following ways:
- A ProgID such as "MSCAL.Calendar.7"
- A CLSID such as "{8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02}"
- A URL such as "https://www.microsoft.com"
- A reference to an Active document such as "file://\\Documents\MyDoc.doc"
- A fragment of HTML such as "MSHTML:<HTML><BODY>This is a line of text</BODY></HTML>"
  
  Notes
  
  "MSHTML:" must precede the HTML fragment so that it is designated as being an MSHTML stream.
hWnd
[in] Handle to the window that the control will be attached to.
pStream
[in] A pointer to a stream that is used to initialize the properties of the control. Can be NULL.
ppUnkContainer
[out] The address of a pointer that will receive the IUnknown of the container. Can be NULL.

One of the standard HRESULT values.

This global function gives you the same result as calling AtlAxCreateControlEx( lpszName**,** hWnd**,** pStream**, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL** );.
