RE: Looking for ActiveX creation/use references
Msdn.microsoft.com is a wealth of information - a bit intimidating at first, but once you're used to it, you can find anything you need there. --- Billy Cravens -Original Message- From: Shawn Grover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 12:33 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Looking for ActiveX creation/use references I've been asked to create an ActiveX control for use within a web page. I'll be using VB6 for the job. While I'm able to create a simple ActiveX control, I need one that can communicate with the parent web page (events will be fired), or take commands from the parent page (javascript commands). This is a bit above my knowledge level at this time. So I'm looking for resources to point me in the right direction. I've already begun digging into our library for information, but am hoping there's a web site or two out there that can tell me what I need to know... Thanks in advance.

RE: Looking for ActiveX creation/use references
Yeah - because you have access to all of it, some of it will be old. I'll see if I can dig up anything specific. --- Billy Cravens -Original Message- From: Shawn Grover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 12:51 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Looking for ActiveX creation/use references grins Been there - I keep finding stuff that's rather outdated...

RE: Looking for ActiveX creation/use references
Well, thus far, I am able to fire my public methods from javascript. But I'm not having any luck finding a reference on how to access the events triggered by the ActiveX object... My test project is a button and a textbox. Clicking the button increments a number in the checkbox. When the value of the textbox changes, or the button is clicked, an event is supposed to be raised, that can be intercepted on the web page. It's that interception part I'm missing so far tips??? Thanks a bunch.

RE: Looking for ActiveX creation/use references
Hi Shawn, I've never done anything with activex or vbscript before, but it seems logical to me vbscript would be easier to use with activex than javascript would be because vbscript and activex are both MS. VBScript would probably have more methods than JS for activex. I think as long as you're writing VB, vbscript should come pretty easy. I can't back any of this up, however. I do this thinking that it might make life easier on you.

RE: Looking for ActiveX creation/use references
You're right. I have done VB Script before, and know I could probably make my life a lot easier with regards to activeX controls. But, the project calls for Javascript, not VB Script. so my hands are tied. Thanks for the input though. Shawn Grover -Original Message- From: Matthew R.
