The control supports ActiveX hosting, so
you can insert any ActiveX component as a child item of the control. If you are using the /NET assembly you can use the InsertObjectItem property to insert a /NET control as a child item of the control. The InsertControlItem property creates the specified ActiveX control and hosts to a new child item of the control, while the InsertObjectItem property hosts the already created object to a new child item of the control.
