Method 1:
Link:Debugging COM and ActiveX
Link:How to: Debug an ActiveX Control
Step1:Code test html.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test ActiveX</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<OBJECT ID="MyActiveX" WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=600
CLASSID="CLSID:5228A02F-8FBD-424C-B457-EEBD4E748504">
<PARAM NAME="_Version" VALUE="65536">
<PARAM NAME="_ExtentX" VALUE="4657">
<PARAM NAME="_ExtentY" VALUE="4075">
<PARAM NAME="_StockProps" VALUE="0">
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Step2:Set debug option in VS2010.
Right click the project and select "Properties" tab. Then select Debugging item in the Properties Pages and configure "Command" and "CommandArgs" arguments.
command: C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe (Local IE path)
command arguments: C:/test.htm (test.html file path)
Step3: Register ActiveX control using full path.
If not, there will be an error:The sepcified module could not be found.
Step4: Sep break point in VS2010 where the implement code you want to debug. Then press F5 to run the program.
Note:IE8 is multi-thread by default, doesn't support ActiveX debug. So, you must modify the registry as following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"TabProcGrowth"=dword:00000000
Note:For Win7 x64 and IE11
1.Run regedit and search [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main], then create or update a DWORD(32) value named TabProcGrowth and set value to 1.(In this case,if newing a tab page will start a 32bit ieplore*32)
2.Attach to a x86 ieplore.exe process, then you will debug into breakpoint.
