How ActiveX works?
-
Hi, I need to buy a developer kit from a third party software company. Since I'm developing my application with VC++. So, it makes sense to buy the C++ developer kit. That software company got developer kit in Jave, .Net, VB, & a C++/ActiveX demo code. I compiled and ran the C++ demo code but still a bit confused. I probably will call that company tomorrow morning to ask some questions. But I wonder, normally, how the people use ActiveX? In what situation? Is that mainly for www application? http://www.active-x.com/articles/whatis.htm Maybe someone can share his/her knowledge with me? Thanks, Kevin Kevin

ActiveX are components that can be used in any language (but of course, this is a Microsoft technology). You can also use them as a component in a Word or excell sheet... It is not necessarily for web applications. Typical examples of ActiveX are for example the MSFlexGrid (a grid control), some calendar controls, graph controls, ... ActiveX files (ocx files) are in fact "enhanced dll's" that means this is a standard dll format files with some default functionnlity that allozs you to retrieve and use objects inside it. Hope things are clear :)
