Using ActiveX Controls

[rebecca90]

Hi,

I'm new to Jade and I'm trying to see if a web page along with its interactive features (namely google map) can be displayed through a Jade form. My boss suggested ActiveX, but I don't know which ActiveX control does what or how to use them. I tried looking up the documentation of Jade 7.0 and 6.3, but couldn't find much useful information.

Can anyone give an example of how ActiveX controls work, or any references that might be useful to look at, or any other way to achieve this?

Thanks a lot.

Rebecca,

I'd start by looking at the Browse -> External Component Libraries in the Jade IDE - this is where you go to import an ActiveX control.

Once there, use the Components -> ActiveX -> Import -> Control Library to open the ActiveX Import Wizard dialog.

On that dialog, select the Microsoft Internet Controls type library and proceed through the rest of the Wizard as appropriate.

Once the import has completed, you'll then be able to paint the WebBrowser control onto one of your Jade forms and drive it programmatically.

Cheers,
BeeJay.
