ActiveX Deployment
- by balexandre
We have used for 8 years an ActiveX builder in Delphi and we are now using it on Internet Explorer over the internet (and not on local machine as it was always been the process until here)
As today we use this object in the HTML:
<object id="ActiveX" classid="CLSID:8EC68701-329D-4567-BCB5-9EE4BA43D358"
width="14" height="14">
<param name="tabName" value="AccountPlan">
</object>
My question is, what are the viable methods to deploy an Active X Control over HTTP/S, what parameters should I need to append to tell where to find it (http url) and download a new one if newer is available?
I got into this article from MSDN Library but refers to VB5.0 and it's dated 1997 ... Just wanna know what can I do now, as probably the tools evolved since last century
All help is appreciated,
Thank you.
