Hello.
One of the best ActiveX controls I've seen (and it works well in VFP) is ActiveXBar 2.0 from DataDynamics (
http://www.datadynamics.com). Shareware download (if you want to try it) and about 189 USD purchase price per developer. Maybe it seems expensive, but it worth. (I'm not working for them!).
Hope this helps
