activex controls are an option. they allow you to run native code inside a web browser, so you can do whatever you want (VB, C++ etc) they are not secure though, so some peoples security settings may not let them run. -Jack Mott jackm@scalablesoftware.com

opera downloads WITH the plugin now I think. so they effectively support it. -Jack Mott jackm@scalablesoftware.com

I was under the impression that none did. But need to confirm. Microsoft seems to not like to talk about java on their site... I could always just write a java2 applet and try each version to see if it ever works I suppose.. -Jack Mott jackm@scalablesoftware.com

anyone? -Jack Mott jackm@scalablesoftware.com

test it. I bet it doesnt. -Jack Mott jackm@scalablesoftware.com

thanks for the response. What is the easiest way to make an http connection? -Jack Mott jackm@scalablesoftware.com

I'm currently doing the following to load a bitmap HBITMAP hBitmap =(HBITMAP) LoadImage(NULL,"c:/activextree/closedfolder.bmp",IMAGE_BITMAP,20,20,LR_LOADFROMFILE); But need to be able to pull this off a network. how can I do this? What Id like to do is something like the following (which doesn't work) HBITMAP hBitmap =(HBITMAP) LoadImage(NULL,"http://localhost/foo/closedfolder.bmp",IMAGE_BITMAP,20,20,LR_LOADFROMFILE); thanks for any help -Jack Mott jackm@scalablesoftware.com

The code I'm using to set the image list and load the bitmap resource is as follows: m_CImageList.Create(20,20,ILC_COLOR,2,10); HBITMAP hBitmap = LoadBitmap(_Module.GetResourceInstance(),MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_CLOSEDFOLDER)); m_icons[0] = m_CImageList.Add(hBitmap,(HBITMAP)0); I've tried ILC_COLOR32, and all the other ILC_ variations, and the icon comes out grey instead of color as it should. -Jack Mott jackm@scalablesoftware.com

I'm working on an activex control that will sit in a webpage. I'm looking to add icons to me TreeView and am having trouble getting an ImageList set up. So far I've done this: CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ImageList, NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IImageList,(void** &m_ImageList); CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ListImages, NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IImages,(void**)&m_Images); Since I see that an ImageList needs the Image collection put into it, but then the Image Collection needs Images put into it and I have no idea how to set that up. Anyone have any tips or links? -Jack Mott jackm@scalablesoftware.com
