TestStand ActiveX used into a resizable dialog box with a Tab control made in Visual C++

Hello.
I have a question.
It`s a little more complicated to explain, but i`ll do my best.
What i`m trying to do is this:

I want to insert a step (of a type defined by me) in a Sequence in TestStand. After the insertion if a do a right click on the step and choose Edit i want to have another sequence, in which i`ll be able to insert several steps. But this second sequence has a different functionalitty then the default one from TestStand. That is why i tried creating a resizable dialog box in VC++ that containes a tab control (the tabs are defined by me) and that appears on the Edit event.
I hope i`ve been clear until now.
I`ve got this far.. i mean the appearence of the dialog box.
in this dialog box, in each tab, i want to be able to have the same functionality as the TestStand sequence, meaning that i want to be able to insert other steps of different types, and to have all the right click functions from TestStand.
 in order to achieve this, i tried using in Ms Vc++6 the following ActiveX  "TestStand UI SequenceView Control ". My problem is that when i try to use my generated dll from VC, i get a "not able to create tab window" error.

My question is this: how can i use in VC++  this ActiveX or any other that would give me the functionality that i desire from TestStand? Or even better, what ActiveX should i use to do what i want?
I`m completely lost at this chapter..
