ActiveX and COM on windows

[Arbiter]

Is possible to use ActiveX and COM object on windows. Delphi 7 automatically creates a stub unit that wraps all methods contained in the ActiveX control. I've tryed to recompile the generated unit under lazarus (with fpc) to make a visual component but in FreePascal's FCL or in lazarus LCL there aren't the following  units: OleCtrls and many others starting with Ole*. (These units are all in the uses section of the stub delphi generated unit).

Thanks all.

ActiveX support is minimal since it's not a crossplatform technology.

I know. But i want to use this technology only on windows.

Yes and that means that it has a very low priority for the devels to implement.
Unless someone suplies patches for it ofcoarse

also, GIMP does not use comctrls or activex, but gimp is not a problem for i. I prefer that the development of lazarus focus on an cross plaform library for controls, and perhaps be skinnable. If så, Lazarus can make skinnable programs wich not delphi can do without expensive components required! And skinnable support is only an dream now, but GTK Programs are skinnable, why doesn't make Lazarus programs skinnable with GTK because it already use GTK for graphics even on win32?
