This article is intended to help you get up to speed quickly with developing an ActiveX control. It will show you the basic concepts you need to know about ActiveX, such as methods, properties, and events, and how to communicate between an ActiveX control and a web page.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// PictureEx.cpp: implementation of the CPictureEx class.
//
// Picture displaying control with support for the following formats:
// GIF (including animated GIF87a and GIF89a), JPEG, BMP, WMF, ICO, CUR
// 
// Written by Oleg Bykov (oleg_bykoff@rsdn.ru)
// Copyright (c) 2001
//
// To use CPictureEx, follow these steps:
//   - place a static control on your dialog (either a text or a bitmap)
//   - change its identifier to something else (e.g. IDC_MYPIC)
//   - associate a CStatic with it using ClassWizard
//   - in your dialog's header file replace CStatic with CPictureEx
//     (don't forget to #include "PictureEx.h" and add 
//     PictureEx.h and PictureEx.cpp to your project)
//   - call one of the overloaded CPictureEx::Load() functions somewhere
//     (OnInitDialog is a good place to start)
//   - if the preceding Load() succeeded call Draw()
//  
// You can also add the control by defining a member variable of type 
// CPictureEx, calling CPictureEx::Create (derived from CStatic), then 
// CPictureEx::Load and CPictureEx::Draw.
//
// By default, the control initializes its background to COLOR_3DFACE
// (see CPictureEx::PrepareDC()). You can change the background by
// calling CPictureEx::SetBkColor(COLORREF) after CPictureEx::Load().
//
// I decided to leave in the class the functions to write separate frames from 
// animated GIF to disk. If you want to use them, uncomment #define GIF_TRACING 
// and an appropriate section in CPictureEx::Load(HGLOBAL, DWORD). These functions 
// won't be compiled and linked to your project unless you uncomment #define GIF_TRACING,
// so you don't have to worry.
// 
// Warning: this code hasn't been subject to a heavy testing, so
// use it on your own risk. The author accepts no liability for the 
// possible damage caused by this code.
//
// Version 1.0  7 Aug 2001
//              Initial release
//
// Version 1.1  6 Sept 2001
//              ATL version of the class
//
// Version 1.2  14 Oct 2001
//              - Fixed a problem with loading GIFs from resources
//                in MFC-version of the class for multi-modules apps.
//                Thanks to Ruben Avila-Carretero for finding this out.
//
//              - Got rid of waitable timer in ThreadAnimation()
//                Now CPictureEx[Wnd] works in Win95 too.
//                Thanks to Alex Egiazarov and Wayne King for the idea.
//
//              - Fixed a visual glitch of using SetBkColor.
//                Thanks to Kwangjin Lee for finding this out.
//
// Version 1.3  10 Nov 2001
//              - Fixed a DC leak. One DC leaked per each UnLoad()
//                (forgot to put a ReleaseDC() in the end of 
//                CPictureExWnd::PrepareDC() function).
//
//              - Now it is possible to set a clipping rectangle using
//                CPictureEx[Wnd]::SetPaintRect(const LPRECT) function.
//                The LPRECT parameter tells the class what portion of
//                a picture should it display. If the clipping rect is 
//                not set, the whole picture is shown.
//                Thanks to Fabrice Rodriguez for the idea.
//
//              - Added support for Stop/Draw. Now you can Stop() an
//                animated GIF, then Draw() it again, it will continue
//                animation from the frame it was stopped on. You can 
//                also know if a GIF is currently playing with the 
//                IsPlaying() function.
//             
//              - Got rid of math.h and made m_bExitThread volatile. 
//                Thanks to Piotr Sawicki for the suggestion.
