Debugging VC OCXs from VB

[SWilliams15]

I need to step into an OCX component app created in VC6, when it's called from VB6. I need to break at points in the debug version of the OCX code and then step through the code and display var values just like I could if I was running an executable in VC. I know this is possible, just not sure how to set it up. Any help would be much appreciated.

A reference to an MSDN article explaining this would work too (though i can't find one that seems to work).

Thanks,
Sean
