I am really confused about ActiveX - I have figured out that there are Win32 and Web-based ActiveX controls -- Correct?
I am not sure what the difference between an ActiveX for win32 and a DLL since they both seem to do that same thing.
However, I am confused about using ActiveX controls on a webpage.
Basically, I want a user to come to a webpage and download an activex control and in the ActiveX control does some processing on that local computer not the webserver.
I am going to be using WMI to query the local computer for a hardware inventory
How the heck do I:
a) add a control to a webpage
b) code it so that the code is executed on the local client side
I don't know where to start - Can someone please post the code to a very very very simple control so I can see how it is used and from then I can program the rest.
I feel really lost and a simple start to finish example (a very very simple one) woudl be very helpful.
Thanks!
