What situations are best suited to using MFC to implement your ActiveX control?

MFC greatly simplifies the process of creating an ActiveX control. Using the MFC ActiveX ControlWizard, you can quickly and easily create a fully featured ActiveX control. ActiveX controls written in ATL are smaller than their MFC counterparts, and if written properly will perform better. Use MFC where ease and speed of development are more important to you than the size and performance of the control.
