How to create and add a custom component to a dialog-based application (MFC)?

Question

I want to create a custom component (line chart) that will be used in other applications.

I do not know 2 things:

• Where should I use (in the component class!) Drawing methods like FillRect

  or PolyLine? In the OnPaint handler, which should I define and display in the MESSAGE MAP? Will be

  it (the OnPaint handler) is called from the OnPaint handler of the application dialog

  or where from?

• How to connect a component, once it is done, to a test application that will

  for example, based on dialogue? Where should I instantiate this component? Of

  OnCreate method for MyAppDialog.cpp?

I started coding in MFC a few days ago, and I'm so confused.

Thanks in advance,

Greetings.
