Primer on ActiveX Controls

Question

I would like to use an ActiveX control - almost exactly like Edraw - to load and edit MS Word documents in IE. I found this MS article and FramerEx; can I use FramerEx? How do I write the HTML to include FramerEx?

Also, can you point me to a primer on ActiveX controls?

Many thanks.

FramerEx is sample code. You can use it as a guide, but you'll probably need to re-write it to get it to production quality. It's also probably not quite what you want. I would recommend starting from scratch.

Refer to the object tag documentation to instantiate your control.
