ActiveX fix for controls/objects without a default interface

In previous releases, a problem has been preventing applications like Adobe Photoshop from being used as a comobject. This was caused by the fact that they have only one main interface and do not mark it as a default interface.

MAXScript now checks for such cases. This change will not affect already functioning scripts.

Here is an example of launching Photoshop from inside of 3ds Max:

EXAMPLE: 

rollout rPhotoshop "Photoshop Application"
(
 activeXControl ax "Photoshop.Application"height:200 width:300
)
createDialog rPhotoshop 400 400
showProperties rPhotoshop.ax
rPhotoshop.ax.open "d:\\temp\\appledis.jpg"
rPhotoshop.ax.actions[1].name
rPhotoshop.ax.playAction "My Action"
