The Insert ActiveX Control dialog box appears, showing all the ActiveX controls on your system. At the bottom of the dialog box, the path to the ActiveX Control file appears.
To add an ActiveX control to a dialog box
In the Insert ActiveX Control dialog box, select the control you want to add to your dialog box and click OK.
The control appears in the dialog box, where you can edit it or create handlers for it just as you would any other control.
