Detailed Description

QAxSelect dialog can be used to provide users with a way to browse the registered COM components of the system and select one. It also provides a combo box for selecting desired sandboxing level. The CLSID of the selected component can then be used in the application to e.g. initialize a QAxWidget:

 QAxSelect select;
 if (select.exec()) {
     QAxWidget *container = new QAxWidget;
     container->setControl(select.clsid());
     container->show();
 }
