Embedded ActiveX Controls

[Vpyro]

What I'm trying to do is embed an ActiveX control in a HTML page. Unfortunately, I've found very little (reliable) documentation on the subject. I understand I'll probably have to do something like:

<OBJECT CLASSID:"???"....></OBJECT>

but I don't know where to get the particular control's CLASSID from. Is it found in the registry? Is there anything special I have to do to get it there? & if it IS there, where can I find it?

I've tried using HTML Editors like HotDog, Netscape Composer, CoffeCup, & HomeSite to get it done for me but the only one that embedded ActiveX controls is HomeSite, & it didn't allow me to specify a local control. & if it did, would I link it to the project file? the ctl file?

Thanks

First you have to compile the control to .ocx
This is in the File menu.
FrontPage Express makes it very easy. If you don't have it
it is easy to find.

Microsoft has an ActiveX Control Pad that you can download for free that makes embedding ActiveX controls into a web page a snap. Very easy to use if you are familiar with Visual Basic.
