If you have sub classed the Activex control with edit box, change PreCreateWindow function as follows in COleControl derived class,

BOOL CEditActiveXCtrl::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
    cs.style = cs.style | ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE; //for both horizontal and verical movement
    cs.lpszClass = _T("EDIT");
    return COleControl::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}
