Every ActiveX control should implement the IViewObject interface which has a Draw method. You can use this to render the ActiveX control to any device context. This is nearly impossible with pure VFP code, it is much simpler using VC++, but still a tedeous task.
This technique is what Moxie Objects uses to render ActiveX controls onto VFP reports with a higher than normal resolution. (
