>>How about just slapping the ocx on a form and subclassing the form in the prg?

My idea is similar: put the ocx into a container in a vcx and add that container
to your form. Hypothesis: the OLE gobbledigook will also work through a .vcx,
and just having a wrapped ocx gives you a chance to add some functionality through
inheritance in the container and better granularity is another side benefit.
