Got it working by using a second wrapper (an activeX control). The code for adding the child control then, looks like this:

void CreateChild ()
{
	m_axWnd.reset(new CAxWindow());	
	if (!m_axWnd.get()) 
	{
		return;
	}

	CRect rc;
	GetClientRect(&rc);
	m_axWnd->Create(m_hWnd, rc, NULL, WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE);
	
	_bstr_t clsStr = my_CLSID;
	m_axWnd->CreateControl(clsStr);		
}

...and the control can be added OnInitDialog and it will be persistent.
