[DUG] creating an ActiveX object

[Phil Middlemiss]

I have written a component that implements the event callbacks for the 
TUMONZ SDK automation object. It manages creating the CoClass and 
hooking up events. It is descended from TControl since there is no 
visual aspect to it (it just interacts with the automation object). I 
want to wrap this up in such a way that other developers can simply 
bring in the control and start using it. I'm quite happy to distribute a 
.dcu (hell, even a .pas), but I really want it to be cross-language. I'm 
using Delphi 6 Pro.

This is where I'm getting confused with my ActiveX terminology. I 
thought I would create a new ActiveX object, but I can't since the 
wrapper is a TControl, not a TWinControl.

I want to end up with a control that can be imported into most of the 
common languages and plonked on a form for events to be hooked up to.

Should I be able to handcraft an ActiveX object for my wrapper? I could 
distribute the type library, but the wrapper does all sorts of nice 
things and wraps up connections and events seemlessly.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Phil.
