Basic ActiveX Questions

[Lee Franke]

I'm new to the ActiveX development so please be gentle with your replies.

I want to create an ActiveX control that when designed into a web page will allow the user, when they click on a button, to bring a specific application to the top and be maximized.

This app/web page will be run locally. The laptop will not be connected to the internet.

As I understand it, if I use MFC the must have the MFC *.dll's loaded as well. Is this correct?

Could I use ATL to accomplish this?

Finally, is there a good 'primer' (preferably online) for learning ActiveX in C++ ?

1. Yes, The Windows O.S already have this.
2. Yes, That's the best way to create ActiveX control.

the person want to learn about ActiveX.
