 If you used vc++ you probably used its gui builder, the mfc class library
and its 'class wizard' (at least to create the externally visible methods
and properties)...

 ...and all of this you won't have with mingw32.  (it may be _possible_
to port mfc but the copyright on the sources would probably restrict
any port to people who already have vc++ anyway so there'd be little
incentive to make one.)  So i guess you'd have to resort to low level
ole programming which looks like, umm, not fun. :(  (oh, are there even
ole headers for mingw32?)

 There is information about ole and about how ocx's use it in msdn
(a copy usually(?) comes with vc++, or go to http://msdn.microsoft.com),
but i'm not sure if there's something what you could call a tutorial...

 HTH, (well, probably not really i'm afraid...)
