Powerpoint ActiveX control

[nexolite]

Hi,
I am trying to use powerpoint OLE control (msppt.olb).
I want to draw it inside a dialog box.
But the problem is that unlike other ActiveX controls this control starts
in a new separate window.
But it supports in-place editing as we can insert the powerpoint
presentation
object in MS-word.
so how can this powerpoint presentation object be inserted in a dialog
box(MFC)?

Unless I'm very much mistaken, msppt.olb is *not* an ActiveX/OLE control -
it's an object library for the PowerPoint application that gives you
"interoperability" access to the application's object model. An Office
application cannot be inserted into a dialog box. You need a control that can
host it.

As far as I know, the only controls available that can host Office
applications are:
- DSOFramer
- Web Browser control
