ActiveX Self register

eusebiu

Hello... I am developing a MFC ActiveX that I want to self register
when IE promts to Install it.

I have added the VALUE "OLESelfRegiste r", "\0" to activex's
resource
file (.rc) and I have STDAPI DllRegisterServ er(void) method in my
code.
When I build my ActiveX project, the ActiveX is registered fine and
it
work on my machine. If I added to a .cab file(cabarc -s 6144 N
myactivex.cab myactivex.ocx myactivex.inf myactivex) and then sign
it(signtool sign /a myactivex.cab) and I try to display the page from
OTHER machine in my local network, I get a dialog that is asking me
if
I want to install it or not.I click install but the ActiveX is not
displayed.
The object tag is :
object id="MyActiveX1 " width="655" height="347" codebase='../../
Applets/myactivex.cab'
classid="CLSID: 069B70F6-47F4-4b0a-
B08D-73A9F2F2EB36">
<param name="_Version" value="65536">
<param name="_ExtentX" value="2646">
<param name="_ExtentY" value="1323">
<param name="_StockPro ps" value="0">
ActiveX control failed to load! (Use Internet Explorer
only!)
 
Please check browser security
settings.
</objectand the inf file is :
[Add.Code]
myactivex.ocx=m yactivex.ocx
myactivex.inf=m yactivex.inf
[myactivex.ocx]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
clsid={069B70F6-47F4-4b0a-B08D-73A9F2F2EB36}
RegisterServer= yes
FileVersion=1,0 ,0,1
[myactivex.inf]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
I am forgeting something?
Thanks!

As I recall from about 7 years ago your ActiveX needs to be marked as
SafeForScriptin g and SafeForInitiali zation (simply 2 keys in the registry)

For security reasons, inspite of the object safety interfaces, you will
always get a security prompt. I know of no way to override that. ActiveX
controls can't simply install themselves on the end-user system without
their knowledge.

.NET ActiveX dll and regasm

by: Lou | last post by:

I know I can make an ActiveX dll in .NET and it uses interop. So I end up with 2 files, the .dll and the interop file. I also know I need to use Regasm or something like that to register the .dll as a COM object. Am I right so far? lets say I create a VB6 app and want to use the .NET dll. Does the installer of the VB6 app have to register the .NET dll by calling Regasm or can the VB6 app call it directly the first time it runs.
