RE: ActiveX Control question

Hi Brian,

I don't know exactly what you're doing but, I have written some browser
plugins before and I found the Netscape plugin API to be much easier to
use for simple stuff than ActiveX. Last time I checked, Netscape plugins
also worked with IE and Mozilla on multiple platforms.

You might also consider Java applets, although unfortunately these no
longer work "out of the box" with IE.

No, but I will now =)  The amount of information to digest for COM +
OLE + MFC + ActiveX + the whole ATL distraction thing is just, well,
immense.  Just figuring out where to start has been difficult, most
people who have been doing this stuff have been doing it for 7 years.

Thanks,

Brian
