I apologize in advance if this seems excessively newbie, but I've been looking and Googling for days without the answer.
I want to write a Hello World ActiveX control. My requirements:
- Users should not have to install any runtimes (like the .NET framework) in order to run it
- Users should not have to muck with their security settings.. it should run with an out-of-the-box IE configuration
- Obviously, it will be hosted on a real site, not http://localhost.
This has been driving me nuts. I've been able to do controls fine, and they display on localhost, but I get a big fat red X when putting it on my server on the Internet.
I know for sure this is possible. After all, anyone who's used Facebook's Photo Uploader while browsing the site in IE knows that it is painless.. you click a yellow bar authorizing it, and that's it. No messing around with IE settings.
Help! :)
