Digital I/O and ActiveX
-
I have a Arcom Digital I/O PCI card installed in my PC. Now I would like to create a ActiveX control to set and read a few of these I/O channels. What I would like is use this card in both an MFC application and Web Pages, so never need to use the cards API. What type of ActiveX do I need to create and how with Visual Studio 7.1. All ActiveX examples I hav seen are done in Visual Studio 6.0 Any comments or links please.

IME, ActiveX normally means a COM object that has or implements some form of GUI. Sounds like you would just need to wrap the card's API with an automation-capable (automation-capable since you mention "web pages" ) COM object. You would then be able to use this COM object from all kinds of clients to work with the card. VS 7.1 should have a wizard (and buttloads of documentation) for creating a simple COM object and the MSDN docs will help you out with the design of the actual interface. Peace! -=- James
