    Pointer to ActiveX component documentation

    Hello,

    I am trying to display external activeX components inside a window of
    my own program. That component could be for example a Word document or
    a PowerPoint application.

    I have found some code samples that show how to do this but now I would
    need a reference document which lists the available components, objects
    and methods provided by Microsoft Office.

    I have been searching in Google and MSDN for hours and found lots of
    information that looks like that but does not match what I need. For
    example, in MSDN there is the Office Developer's reference that
    explains how to run VB inside Office applications, but not the other
    way around (which is what I need).

    Could you point me to some reference? I am able to search registered
    components in my PC and find the ClassID of all available ActiveX
    components, but then I don't know how to use them, as there is no way
    to know which is the list of methods, properties, events, etc.
    available to each of these components.

    For example, using a tool that inspects the registry (called
    "RegCtrls") , I get this:
    {64818D10-4F9B-11CF-86EA-00AA00B929E8} = "Microsoft PowerPoint
    Presentation"
    PowerPoint.Show = "Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation"

    And then I don't know how to progress from there in order to embed a
    PPT file inside a window of my program.

    Thank you very much in advance...

    Luis.
