I know a vc++ example ships with IDL5.5 although it might not install by
default.
Another option if you are using 5.5 would be using COM objects. The only
documentation I have found is in the What's New in 5.5 .pdf file and
although it is lacking it will help get you started.
I have only used the widget_activex function and ran into a wall trying to
pass arrays of data from my activeX object to IDL. I have been informed
that this is possible, but I haven't been able to get it to work. The poor
documentation and lack of examples is a problem.

README file: <RSI_Directory>

------------------------------------------------------------
This directory contains an example application using IDL's
ActiveX control, illustrating the passing of data between
IDL and Microsoft Visual C++. This application contains an
active command line, an object graphics window, a log window,
and buttons to control the data transfer.
To build the application, load the workspace "DrawXCpp.dsw"
into Microsoft Visual C++, and select "Rebuild All" from the
developer studio "Build" menu. You can then select "Execute"
from the "Build" menu to execute the application.
