I am making an activeX control that will run the applications (login, customized menus, stuff) on my website, and have a few control.ocx files. I know that on webpages they say "The site may need the following activex control ..." and want to embed the control in my site. How can I have it so that when you go to the webpage, itll ask to install the ocx file which is on the website? (HTML code?) And how can i embed the userforms on the html page once the app installed?

I know you're looking at ActiveX controls, but I feel I should point out that these are only really supported in IE, and most users would be wary about installing them just to view the menu or whatever on your site. If you come from a vb background, I would suggest you look into classic asp, or asp.net using vb.net for the backend. It will give you much for flexability, and make your users more comfortable, as well as catering for a wider range of browsers.

If you still feel ActiveX is the way you want to go, have a quick google for "ActiveX control embed html" and you should find what you're looking for pretty quickly.

      It's a shame an independent org have to rely on some government partner's closed technology, then they don't like something from you, you simply get locked down. 🤡

      It looks better but needs quite a bit more GPU and CPU horsepower. Still way better performance than raytracing mode on my AMD video card.

      Yes, because that was years ago. Waymo have been operating a safe consumer facing self-driving service for years now. They're completing 250,000 jobs a week. Interestingly in terms of behavior at junctions there have been some observed variations in self driving cars. Another, smaller company, not at the point of consumer testing yet, have observed that the cars most often tested in busy commercial centers of town are more aggressive with making turns and claiming right of way than the cars most frequently tested in suburban areas. The cars learn they have to claim the opening in traffic

      When you let all of your systems on Microsoft, Microsoft runs your company. When it says jump, you jump, and there is nothing you can do about it.
