activex control in html page
Hi,
I have started a new project (vb6) and need some advice. The project is an activex object to be displayed within a html page. It needs to have the following functionality:
a. Must be able to resize as the web page is resize.
b. Must have 2 desktop panes (Content panes)
c. Pane 1.
i. Menu
ii. Toolbar
iii. 3 dockable panes (Side bar, bottom bar)
1.Sidebar (Dockable panels) Tree view
2.Bottombar (Dockable panels) List view
3.MDI (to hold map view) with an overview map that may be detached from mdi pane)
d. Pane 2 (Left blank selected by menu)
I'm used to procedural coding so activex is unchartered territory for me. I've done some research and it seems menus and activex controls dont get on. If anybody has any advice on the best way to go about this it will be greatly appreciated.

I think this is impossible. The height and width are fixed my the HTML code which will not change just because you resize the window.

You might get away with Tabbed pages, but not menus. An ActiveX control in a webpage is very limited.
