Hello, I m Pat Brenner, a developer on the Visual C++ Libraries team.  I ve noticed some posts on various forums lamenting the loss of the ActiveX Test Container application and I wanted to address those concerns.
Note that there is a problem with the sample in Visual Studio 2008.  After building the application, running it will give an error message because the application configuration is incorrect .  To fix this, change the Enable User Account Control property on the Linker / Manifest File property page for the TCProps project to No (as in the screen shot below) and rebuild container port group the solution.  You will need to do this for all configurations and platforms that you want to run.  Once you do so, the tool will run (in both Win32 and x64 configurations) without issue.
For Visual Studio container port group 2010, the sample was converted to the new Visual C++ build system (based on MSBuild) and the problematic setting was removed during the conversion.  So for Visual Studio 2010, the sample builds container port group and runs (in both Win32 and x64 configurations) without issue.
         The code base is fairly old, and had not been maintained on a consistent basis, so there were some bugs in the tool but no resources available to fix them.

I'm not entirely familiar with the set of issues container port group in the test container.  But I imagine part of the problem may be that it can host any ActiveX control, and exercise container port group it fully.  So if you have a malicious ActiveX control on your computer container port group and exercise container port group it using the container, you may encounter security issues.  Certainly we don't have the resources to make the test container as bullet-proof as Internet Explorer has to be regarding ActiveX controls.
4 maybe microsoft think that native C++ to make AcriveX is not a good direction? do you also think that such OCX is discouraging to use now by microsoft? then what is the alternative direction?
