ActiveX without prompting? (or how to create an IE-plugin?)
-
Hi everyone, I have an ActiveX control (or simply say a COM control) which was used within some applications so far. As a new requirement this control should also be running within the browser. So far so good, it works quite flawless. But when a page including the control is opening, the bar for activating activeX is shown every time. This is not really great user experience if the prompting is done with every new browser session again and again. Furthermore I have some cases where the current -element is created at run-time. In this case the prompting is not done at all, the object is simply not initializing (except if you have allowed activeX within the same browser session before) So my question is: Can I install my control in such a a way that IE allows showing it whout prompting? Maybe simply signing the DLL? Registering it as BHO? (All BHO-related stuff I found was gui-less, so it did not help me so far.) How are plug-ins for IE developed usually? As I said, BHO offers no examples for content controls, maybe there is some NAPI-like interface for this? Has somebody usefull ideas how to develop a content control such as Flash that is simply installed and running in the browser without any prompting? Thanks, Roland
