ActiveX Questions

[Ron]

I am a VB6 programmer and new to VC++. My problem:

I have a Visual C++ .Net MFC MDI application that I would
like to expose some of the functionality (just some
private functions) as a COM object for use in other
programs (VB Script).

It's a "no brainer" in VB6, but in VC, I'm not quite sure
if this is easily done, or what the best approach to take
is. I was thinking that I would change the configuration
type to DLL, then add an ATL Simple Object (which would
add ATL support to the project), then expose the methods I
need to call within that object.

My questions:

Are there any other changes that I would have to make to
the project other than the above? Is this the most
straightforward way? Would converting it to an ActiveX
Control be easier? Should I be creating a new ATL project
and try to copy and paste all of the functionality from
the MDI project into the new project?

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
