ActiveX in a HTML

jrp · Apr 8, 2003

I need to pass parameters to my activeX component, whicH I´m develipong in Visual Basic. Something along the lines of:

<PARAM NAME="url" VALUE="

http://www.yahoo.com">

but every time I pur a PARAM tag, the page gives me a "ActiveX is not secure" warning, and the activex doesn´t load.

Can someone help me please. Maybe a tutorial on how to build activex with VB for use on the web (i´ve looked everywhere and can´t find anything that actually helps).

THanks

first u need to change the security settings inside the browser. make scripting activex control option as either prompt or enable. i would suggest prompt.
then try your code.
if it doesnt work try then try the function parametrs option. here is the code to this method.
***************Code****************************
**Define a function getval(a,b)inside activex like this*****
function getval(a,b)
myGlobalVar1=a
myGlobalVar2=b ' the values passed from asp will be
'stored inside your defined global variables.
end function

*************************************************
<body>
<OBJECT ID="UserControl1"
CLASSID="CLSID:9DD16CC9-5572-4C0F-8F38-6C822AB0FF7D"
CODEBASE="acxASP.CAB#version=1,0,0,0">
</OBJECT>
<br><br>
<form name=frm1>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="val1" VALUE="val1here">
<br>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="val2" VALUE="val2here">
<br>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="NextDay" VALUE="Day >">

</P>
</form>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

Sub NextDay_OnClick
UserControl1.getval frm1.val1.value,frm1.val2.value

End Sub
</script>
</body>
