The Image map source code shows how the image map control works, including some useful tips for creating an intuitive programmer interface for an OCX control and how to subclass the usercontrol to allow you to find out the coordinates at which mouse events occur.

The Global Hotkey source code demonstrates how to register a hotkey, create new window messages and respond to them by subclassing the UserControl main window. It also demonstrates a clever technique for having more than one subclassed control on a form at a time.
