ActiveX Control on a Web Page.

External Since: Feb 27, 2005 Posts: 1

Good day to all.

This may not be the NG to post this, but here goes.

I've created an ActiveX control and tested extensively in VB6. All works
exactly as expected. What I want to be able to do is to use it in a web
page. However, before the control is used, I need to set a few properties
and call one method.

As soon as I make referrence to my control, the browser immediately displays
it. I need to do the above PRIOR to display.

How would I do this?

My TEST page is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="EditPlus">
<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="">
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<OBJECT ID="MyTstObject1"
CLASSID="CLSID:308521FB-ABC8-4F0F-AF59-C11A3D885751"
CODEBASE="MyAXcontrol.OCX">
</OBJECT>
</BODY>

</HTML>

Thanks a bunch everyone.

Hi,

Putting an .OCX on the webserver is not a good idea.
Run the VB 'Package and Deployment' wizard, to create a cabinet file. This
wizard, will create a .HTM sample file for you as well. It's a no brainer.
Success!
