We are developing a web-based point-of-sale application, which, while it mostly runs in a browser, also requires integration with hardware devices such as credit card readers. In order to provide hardware integration, we have implemented several simple ActiveX controls in C++ using ATL. We are not experienced Windows developers, and are...

I'm testing in Microsoft Word 2007, I have a very simple control: [Guid("186A1449-CF7C-42f1-8E3C-8E1BF7D0376B")] public interface AxWeb { } [Guid("101CB6AF-AEC4-4e54-86B9-427F2437D907")] [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] public partial class Web : UserControl, AxWeb { [EditorBrow...

I am using an activex control in one of my web pages. The size of the activex is 3MB+. For the first time, when the user comes to the page, user gets a blank screen till the activex is downloading and the screen does not load until the activex is completely downloaded. Is there a way to show some kind of a message to the user till the a...
Hi, I'm using a3rd party component in my project and I recently upgraded to their latest version which fixed bug 'A' unfortunately, while it solved bug 'A', another part has gotten completely unstable, so it introduced a bug 'B'. Since 'A' and 'B' are in completely different contexts, I want to have both versions of the control instal...
I have a 3rd party ActiveX control I want to render within other presentation technologies (Direct3D and WPF). To do this, I need the ActiveX to render to a system memory bitmap instead of the screen. I know there is a way to do this, but not sure where to start. I'm not afraid of doing any native method hooking, but I'm not sure wher...
We've got an ActiveX control deployed across a large number of machines (in an intranet site). It's referenced in HTML as follows (names changed to protect the innocent): <object id="foo" style="DISPLAY: none" codebase="foo.cab#version=3.0.0.0" height="10" width="10" classid="CLSID:F00F00F0-0F00-F00F-00F0-0F00F00F00F0"> ...
Hi, I'm trying to save a web page as MHTML (.mht) file in Internet Explorer 7. I googled and found some javascript lines + an activex to accomplish that: <script type="text/javascript"> function save() { document.all.WebBrowser.ExecWB(4,1); } </script> <object id="WebBrowser" width='0' height='0' classid="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-...
I have a web application (ASP.NET MVC, running on IIS7) that exports files to CSV. All was fine and well, until the client requested that due to security concerns, only specific directory locations should be valid targets for the resulting "save" dialog when I send the correct MIME type and send all the data. Is this possible? An alter...
I've got VMWare Server 2 up and running, created a few VMs, been playing around with it. I'm trying VMWare out to see if I'd like to switch from Microsoft Virtual Server 2005. One thing I really liked about Virtual Server 2005 is the ability to use my virtual machine in an ActiveX control (I know...I know...I like being able to tab betwe...

Basically I need the long name of the component (ex:Microsoft Excel 12.0 object Library) , Filename (ex:EXCEL.EXE), and version number. I want to get this programmatically using .NET. ...
HI, I've trying to listen for events fried by my ATL object. I find that if I include a script as follows directly in the HTML of the page it picks up the event correctly. <html> <head> <script event="genericScriptEvent(param0, param1, param2, param3, param4, param5, param6, param7, param8)" for="CMyControl" type="text/javascript"> ...
I read that early builds of Chrome supported ActiveX, but was later restricted to certain MIME types (for support for say Windows Media Player). I then read Google was going to enable ActiveX strictly for the Korean market. How do I (re)enable this in Chrome? Our web based product relies on ActiveX controls from 3rd parties to play cu...

Enrollment seems to work fine, but I c...
I've written an ActiveX control using ATL. I used the wizard to add support for connection points which added public IConnectionPointContainerImpl<CActiveX> and CProxy_IActiveXEvents<CActiveX>, where the CProxy_... is the wizard generated code to fire events. I've defined a dispinterface as follows: [ uuid(43ECB3DF-F004-4FAD-...
Alright, well I wanted a system of communication between my webpage and a web service. I don't understand much about writing a web service and a problem I had was the fact that the web service itself would not have a user interface where I could view the processes. Then I thought about making an "ActiveX control that will show a simple u...
I need a small communicator between an application/background process and the gadget, I think its easiest to make own activex module that has just getText() and setText(). I need to pass a string once per second or so. I guess the activex object should use shared data so that another new activexobject() (created by javascript gadget pag...

These files can be registered by calling them with the /regserver switch and unregister by calling them with the /unregserver switch. I unde...
