ActiveX

[Joe]

Hi, I'm a beginner and I am wondering if you can use ActiveX Controls in otherplaces,
besides a dialog box, if so how can you do that.
Thanks in advance Joe.

hi joe, i am experimenting with it at the moment. what you need to do is to
insert the control into your project by choosing Project>Add to project>Components
and Controls and finding your control in the registered activex controls
folder. when you click insert it will be added to your project.

in my experience it appears as a class which you then instantiate as a member
variable of one of your own classes, and then call it;s create function (or
similar).

i;ve been able to make calls on my control in this way, but i'm having problems
handling any call backs it might make cos i can;t seem to get it to recognise
the control id i give it.

hope this helps

Hi,

Another place you can use ActiveX controls is within web pages. ActiveX controls
can be included with the HTML <object> tag. Most, if not all, browsers will
prompt the user before downloading the activeX component the first time and
the browser will warn the user if the component is not digitally signed...
