ActiveX development environment

[SyRenity]

Hi.

I was wondering, in which environment the ActiveX was developed? I compiled it successfully in Cygwin, but how the ActiveX can be conveniently developed, other then using the VC only to edit the code, and then compile it externally? Is it the only way to develop the ActiveX?

Thanks.

I know this is going to come as a shock to a lot of people, but I developed the ActiveX plugin using gvim and cygwin (gcc and gdb).

however, the source code should compile under VC (as gcc is compatible with VC compiler sourcewise), the main problem is to rework VLC build system as VC project files; this can amount to a lot of work. however, there have posts by people claiming that they have sucessfully compiled VLC.
