What is exactly an activeX?
Hey guys!
I bought a book, that say a little about activeX..
It came with a little example about the clock and a date thing...
But I didnt understood very well what is an active x.... Its something inside of VB? Like a form, Module? Or its a new program language?
I didnt understood the point of using an activeX in the example, cause I could do the same thing (the clock and the date) with labels...and timers.. and things like that....
In what situation activeX is required? The impression that I have is that is something like the macromedia flash? Its right?
Thanks for your time,
Elminster
Hmm... I am getting the idea...
Really thanks for the explanation guys!
ADO.. Hm.. I think I used it when my app had to "talk" with the database Access... Is it right?
Oh, just one more thing...This active X that we are talking about, is the same active X that is present in internet? Within the webpages? I think I read in the symantec page, that the future of the viruses will be made by active X and another component...
So it is possible to create an active X and use the same active X for web and for you vb app?
Thanks for your help guys!
