How to host an Active-X exe inside a browser 1

[jbhatta]

I have a VB Active-X exe which I want to run inside Internet Explorer. I am trying to run the application using a hyperlink, which starts the application in a standalone mode... Using "TARGET" tag also does not help.
Please help!
Thanks a lot.

You will have to access it using an ASP page that load the Active-X.

Good Luck

You need to set up an OBJECT tag inside an asp page to run your dll. I'm doing the same thing now. Don't forget the CODEBASE tag.
Like this:
<OBJECT ID=&quot;myActiveX&quot; WIDTH=50% HEIGHT=50%
CLASSID=&quot;CLSID:12345678-8B82-1111-8B57-00A0C11AB99B&quot;
CODEBASE=&quot;

http://mydomain/myActiveXDir/MyCabfilename.cab&quot;>

<PARAM NAME=&quot;_ExtentX&quot; VALUE=&quot;17674&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;_ExtentY&quot; VALUE=&quot;10478&quot;>

</OBJECT>

param tag sets the params of your activex object.
copy the classid from your registry.
codebase tag will automaticlly d/l the control if they don't have it.

This is all I know at the moment, but I hope this helps.
