Can you explain briefly

[nigel_chong98]

Exactly what is so different about activeX EXE, activeX control Pad, activeX document, activeX document EXE and DHTML application in VB6?
If i were to come with a dataprogram that is able to let other user access to my program through internet, can i use any of them? Any points to take note?

Thanks for reading.

An Active X control is a client side control and is embedded into your webpage via HTML and VBScript.

ActiveX DLL's can run only in another applications process; meaning it cannot run stand-alone(it has no GUI)and is usally added to another application as a way of additional functionality.

ActiveX Documents are documents or forms that can appear in a browser.

DHTML apps, like all ActiveX technologies, are pretty much dependent upon IE 3 or 4 and later. From what I understand they are for Intranet use only.
