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.

      My kid tried, so I took her to Microcenter and showed her the differences in price as well as storage and specs. We bought a Windows machine. She loves it, and is off to college this fall with her gaming level windows laptop at the price of a Mac that came with a 512GB SSD, and half the RAM.

The backup and restore feature of Hasleo Backup Suite can help you back up and restore the Windows operating systems, disks, partitions and files (folders) to protect the security of your Windows operating system and personal data. The cloning feature of Hasleo Backup Suite can help you migrate Windows to another disk, or easily upgrade a disk to an SSD or a larger capacity disk. System Backup & Restore / Disk/Partition Backup & Restore Backup Windows operating system and boot-related partitions, including user settings, drivers and applications installed in these partitions, which ensures that you can quickly restore your Windows operating system once it crashes. Viruses, power failure, or other unknown reasons may cause data loss, so it is a good habit to regularly back up the drive that stores important files, you can at least recover lost files from the backup image files in the event of a disaster. System Clone / Disk Clone / Partition Clone Migrate the Windows operating system from one disk to another SSD or larger disk without reinstalling Windows, applications and drivers.

Delta Restore Delta restore uses advanced delta detection technology to check the changed blocks on the destination drive and restore only the changed blocks, so it has a faster restore speed than the traditional full restore.

    • You will soon have fewer reasons to open Control Panel in Windows 11

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      99% of Control Panel will be moved to Settings. Then by 2050, 20% of settings will have been moved to the Configuration Menu. I have no issues with Settings as it exists now in Windows 11. Bring everything over and be done with it.
