  • Create add-in
  • Add ActiveX form to add-in project
  • Add below code to addin .pas file
procedure TmyAddin.CTPFactoryAvailable(const CTPFactoryInst: ICTPFactory); safecall;
Var 
    CTP: _CustomTaskPane;
//  NP: TActiveXformClass;
begin   
    CTP:= CTPFactoryInst.CreateCTP('<replace with add-in name>.<replace with activeXform name>', 'pane caption', EmptyParam);
//  NP := TNavigationPane(ctp.ContentControl);
    CTP.Visible := true;
end;
