OLE Container in a DLL

I'm developing a DLL that simply shows a frame window containing a RemoteData Control and a DBGrid Control. I have initialized my app with AfxEnableOLEContainer and my app runs fine, but the RemoteData and DBGrid controls do not appear. The debug output message is the following:

CoCreateInstance of OLE control {00028C00-0000-0000-0000-000000000046} failed.
>>> Result code: 0x800401f0
>>> Is the control is properly registered?
Warning: CreateDlgControls failed during form view init.
Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
occmgr.cpp(646) : {241} normal block at 0x00412580, 28 bytes long.

The line 646 of occmgr.cpp is the following:

pBindings = new CDataBoundProperty(pBindings, dispid, ctlid);

What's the problem?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your fast answer.

I've registered the two controls, and the problem persists. I think that it's not the problem, because these controls work fine in an usual MFC application. The problem only appears when including the controls in a DLL.

If contrls are properly registered be sure that you called AfxOleInit() and AfxEnableControlcontainer() in your application InitInstance function

Thanks for your answers.

I was calling AfxOleInit and AfxEnableControlContainer in the DLL application object InitInstance function, but they have to be called from the application that imports the DLL.
