Hi Gurus,
What is the difference between the Design Time Controls and ActiveX Control in Visual InterDev Toolbox? Are they recognizable by Nescape?
Thank you so much.

Design time controls sould be displayed by every mozilla compatible browser (like IE and Netscape).
ActiveX controls can only be displayed by ActiveX compatible browsers (read as IE). This means that when you use and ActiveX control in a webpage, your client must use IE, and Netscape will fail to show the page correctly.
When you are building an Internet page, I would advice not to use ActiveX, cause you can't force half the world to change browser (how much M$ would like that to happen). If you are developing an intranet application for an organization, you can do that (most of the time that is).
