Could you rather just change the mouse pointer icon to something
invisible? That should be much easier to do!

I will look for it and post it to you when I find it. Just I must warn
you it probably isn't very small or simple.

ActiveX are like DLL files, you copy them allong with your other files
and reffer to them in your own programs as if you were calling a command
from your own program. (If this all is from the interenet, there is a
Microsoft way to install them with the browser giving the user a
question if he wants to and clicking yes will do it automatically, but
it is a bit complicated IMHO). ActiveX files have to be added to the
registry to be installed (the program "regsvr32" found in the windows
directory should be used to do that, namely "regsvr32 /s
NameOfYourActiveX.ocx" to install and "regsvr32 /s /u
NameOfYourActiveX.ocx" to uninstall). ActiveX are binaries like EXE
files they don't run from anything they just run.
Is that acceptable?
