Help creating ActiveX container from existing app
"Thomas Powell" <thomas.powell[ at ]think2020.com> 29.11.2005 20:06:01
The Problem:
We have an application framework that is compiled as a DLL and sits on top
of MFC. Basically it looks like this:
MFC.dll
Our MainFramework.dll
Client.exe

We NEED this to run inside of a window on a browser. Ideally, this would run
inside a window that is placed in a browser and it would run it's own thread
and pump it's own messages. It's only interaction with the browser window
would probably be to get resize information and other basic events. Later we
may want to communicate between the javascript and the C++ app, but that is
much less important right now.

We have full access to all of the code and can recompile the client.exe into
a dll if needed. Our initial idea is that we could run inside of an Out of
Process Active X Server. We need someone with the experience to pull that
off.

Later we may want to write a Firefox plugin or some other firefox solution.

We are open to any ideas to get these done.

Sorry, but I think you'll need to find a more appropriate newsgroup in which
to ask this question, either one related to IE or to C++.

This newsgroup is for questions about using ActiveX controls in Access, the
database product that's part of Office Professional.
