ActiveX Controls

I'm looking to be able to write something not too dissimilar to the windows
update website. I would like to be able to have an activex control or
something that I can create a windows and show the status of a download and
potentially upload. I'm not sure how this can be done but I've found
articles that say you can create a windows control, add com interop and use
that on the web page. I have been completely unsuccessfull with this and am
basically lost as to where to go next. Any help would be very much
appreciated.

One approach is to dust off the vb6 compiler and get cracking. it fully
supports activeX controls. once the control is built, simply embed it in a
webpage via the object tag.

Just in time for MS to stick the big fork into VB6 ;)

would you have any suggestions on example articles for this. I never really
got much into vb6. I started with .net. I think I'm looking for something
that opens up in a "windows form" window to show status/progress for
upload/download.

I noticed that Microsoft uses cab files too then. I'm just having a hard
time finding GOOD information about this stuff.

if you subscribe to the asp.netpro magazine, jeff prosise wrote an article
about last year that has full source code on that kind of implementation.
basically, he uses a windows control and embeds it into a webform. after
hooking it up for automation, the results are impressive.
