i tried added a control to a new hello world app resource. when thr
program runs, the dialog didn't even show. what initialization is
needed or any? thanks.
Normal Windows dialogs can't host ActiveX controls. Dialog editor puts
special markers into the dialog template that require complicated
preprocessing and a lot of supporting code (e.g. IOleClientSite
implementation) before the dialog can be displayed. Both ATL and MFC
contain the necessary code - pick one and use it. It would be very
difficult to write your own ActiveX hosting support from scratch.
As a starting point, see

You want CAxDialogImpl

necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
