QAxWidget can be found from the Designer's Widget Box, under Containers. QAxWidget's base class QAxBase provides an API to initalize and access a COM object.

it should be said that:

The ActiveQt modules are part of the Qt Desktop Edition. They are not part of the Qt Open Source Edition.

I thought it was obvious since only the commercial edition has VS integration..

I suggest you start by reading the docs on QAxWidget. Then you should take a look at ActiveX examples bundled with Qt. They should provide all the info you need.
