By default, the stock font property for an MFC ActiveX control is persisted as a binary COM object (IFontDisp). Many Web authoring tools expect to deal with properties as text name/value pairs using the IPersistPropertyBag interface.

These samples demonstrate how to persist the stock font as a set of text properties to enable the control to be used by Web authoring tools such as FrontPage and the ActiveX Control Pad.

A sample HTML file is provided that demonstrates how to access the font properties from a Web page.
