yeah you could, I'm mainly thinking about use of this control in a smart thin client environment. If you write this sort of thing in JADE, then you're continually having to send network traffic in order to get the control to animate, whereas if done as an OCX, everything happens on the client side. At least, that's how I understand it

Just wondering what network traffic is involved. I'd expect the code would be transferred once, and should be fairly trivial (in the order of a few hundred lines?). You'd need to fetch persistently stored animation rules from the database, just take care to read them in one hit - again, should involve trivial amounts of traffic?

Rob,

Craig mentioned smart thin client; the network traffic of concern is between the app server and presentation client.
