How to use the Imaging component in VC++

[GPGD]

Hello,

We want to use the Imaging component in a VC++ application. I've looked at the VC++ sample included. In our project we don't have a window associated with the section of code that needs to use this component. When we attempt to instantiate the object with:

C_Imaging m_imaging;

We get an error message when attempting to use any member functions/properties. Specifically we get:

ASSERT(m_pCtrlSite != NULL); // not an OLE control (not yet, at least)

in the void AFX_CDECL CWnd::InvokeHelper function

Is this because we need to actually add the active x component to a window. If so is there a way around this. There doesn't seem to be a non .NET library for this component.

TIA

Disregard post. Just used create function and attached to main wnd
