You are asking the same question for weeks now.
I think most of what can be said about this is said here:
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=9311.0

I recommended using delphi.

Maybe the FPC developers know more.
Try here: http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel/

Many of us are cross platform programmers and don't use platform
specific features except when necessary. You better find a Delphi
example, try converting it yourself, and when stuck, post the code
here.

Use Delphi - believe me. You will not want to know all this what is
going on behind the scenes and I do not want to remember.

The import process of Delphi is something that was not invented by
Borland - this is as it is from MS (evolution of MIDL). Usually when
using an OCX/Active X Control which is somehow the same requires you
to bind and link.

Check the web for using OCX with C or using Active X with C ....

Honestly I have no idea how to make it interact with the Form. In the
4GL world there usually exist special containers for handling Events
and visual aspects of the Active X control ... A Delphi Form know how
to handle Active X. If you go into the VCL you will see. The VCL is
cabable of Active X. It is not just a button.

Usually in such cases, takte the .dll behind and integrate the control
this way - usually there is an underlying C/C++ .dll.
