COM is a very complex area in programming. So you need really to dig deep and learn a lot. I speak about more about months than weeks of learning. There is no way around and no easy fix - it just wont work. ;-)

May this fine article helps you COM tutorial. But it is with the outdated IE 6. Newer IE have some more security restrictions. This is a showcase to want I mean, but I may not suit you IE Drop-Down Button

You can use MFC or ATL or bare C/C++. Pick whichever suits your experience.

Here's an article on creating a browser instance.

IWebBrowser2 Wrapper Class[^]

There are several articles on writing COM servers. Most are about 10 years old. Here's two.

ATL COM EXE Server with MFC support[^]

Introduction to COM Part II - Behind the Scenes of a COM Server[^]

Like Karsten says, there's a learning curve. I hope the CP articles help. Good luck.
