\section{\class{wxActiveXContainer}}\label{wxactivexcontainer}

wxActiveXContainer is a host for an activex control on Windows (and
as such is a platform-specific class). Note that the HWND that the class
contains is the actual HWND of the activex control so using dynamic events
and connecting to wxEVT\_SIZE, for example, will recieve the actual size
message sent to the control.

It is somewhat similar to the ATL class CAxWindow in operation.

The size of the activex control's content is generally gauranteed to be that
of the client size of the parent of this wxActiveXContainer.

You can also process activex events through wxEVT\_ACTIVEX or the
corresponding message map macro EVT\_ACTIVEX.

\wxheading{Example}

This is an example of how to use the Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX control to read PDF files
(requires Acrobat Reader 4 and up). Controls like this are typically found and dumped from
OLEVIEW.exe that is distributed with Microsoft Visual C++. This example also demonstrates
how to create a backend for \helpref{wxMediaCtrl}{wxmediactrl}.
