The first thought I have is a singe or series of COM/ACTIVE-X objects that
read values (from a DB or a file).
The other thought would be to give the application the ability to run as a
type of "SERVER" on a a specific port and having an active x control (prob.
a dll) sending data requests to the "SERVER" and being able to receive from
it too, and put the data into an HTML page.
The other way you could do this, is to use active x exe's that have a form
and the form is visible in the HTML page.
This exe does the sending and receiveing of data from the "SERVER" and say
you are wanting to plot some data, you can see the chart in the HTML page,
on the form......if you know what i mean.
Hope this is some help.
