This is my first time to hear ActiveX, is it hard to program with ActiveX control? LabView, Dephi, VB, VC, Excel, Borland C++, Agilent VEE and TestPoint samples are available

It is a plugin designed to allow ActiveX controls to run inside Netscape Communicator 4.x and Mozilla. The ActiveX control can support scripting through a hardcoded interface in LiveConnect on 4.x and XPConnect on Mozilla 6.0-7.0. The plugin built for Mozilla 1.4 and Netscape 7.1 supports near transparent scripting thanks to COM connect

When logging into Kohler PLUS for the first time you will be prompted to install the ActiveX Viewer. If you choose not to install, Kohler PLUS may not perform properly. We highly recommend the installation of ActiveX. Click Install Components. This should install in about 30 seconds depending on your internet connection.

To use our ActiveX upload tool, you need to have ActiveX controls enabled on your computer. To do this, click Tools > Internet Options from your browser's menu bar. Click on the Security tab at the top and then the custom Level... button on the bottom of the dialog box. A list of Security Settings will pop up. Make sure that all of the options for ActiveX are set to either enable or prompt.

Maybe some day, but the control won't help here. The control is a DLL wrapper around the Gecko rendering engine and is not part of mozilla.exe. At the time of writing, Mozilla has no automation interface so you cannot control it via IWebBrowser or any other ActiveX interface. I would like to see Mozilla gain such a capability but it would probably be as much work again to achieve as the control was to implement.

ActiveX is a set of technologies created by Microsoft for sharing information among different programs. The 'control' is simply the use of ActiveX. In the case of sirius.com, the ActiveX control is sharing song and artist data found in the Windows Media Player plug-in with your browser. It is similar to a Java applet, except that ActiveX controls have full access to the Windows operating system only-they do NOT work with Macintosh browsers and certain PC browsers.

This is where I can still get into legal trouble. Let me preface this again with "All that is said on this site is simply my opinion". So, in my opinion, ActiveX is a danger. It's dangerous because of the basic nature of ActiveX, not because of a simple bug here and there. ActiveX is the same thing as OLE. Microsoft has repeatedly stated that ActiveX is OLE renamed. ActiveX/OLE is simply a Microsoft Windows software component.

For quite a while my answer to this was no. After all, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. After thinking about it some more, with quite a bit of work perhaps it could be fixed. If Microsoft ran ActiveX controls in what they term as a "Sandbox", one could prevent disk writes, and other dangerous actions from taking place. I find it very unlikely that Microsoft will do this.

The Mozilla control is a binary replacement for the IE control so the choice of object technology was predetermined.

The ActiveX control message is based on your browser security settings. If you receive the ActiveX control message, you need to modify and select Madico SiteBuilder as a trusted site in your ActiveX control settings to be able to use the Site Editor tool. To configure your ActiveX control settings so that you will not receive this message in the future: The imported content has presumed a larger size footprint than our templates permit. Some of our templates have size restrictions.

AddFlow for .NET is NOT compatible with the current ActiveX version. For instance, if you are porting an application from VB6, you will have to review almost all the code that uses AddFlow (however this is just a matter of a few hours). If you need a strict compatibility, you can use the current ActiveX version (5.4) as a COM component in a .NET application. However we encourage you to use the .NET version which is far more powerful and easier to use.

Yes AddFlow is digitally signed, using Microsoft Authenticode technology and Verisign as the certifying authority.

the evaluation version of each product has a nag screen. You may use it for up to 60 days for trials and design-time evaluation purposes only.

In addition to the chapter Evolving Applications with COM in the Cross-Platform Developer's Guide, we recommend the following books:
