Not all ActiveX controls support adapting themselves to the property values of their control containers (so-called ambient properties). Please check your control's documentation to find out whether the control supports this feature.

:inheritPresParams() is automatically called during creation of an XbpActiveXControl instance. Normally, Xbase++ applications do not need to call this method directly.
