download control?

Hi peeps,

I'm trying to find a control for downloading from my website.

What I want to do is allow users to download quite a large file, use the
Save As dialog so they can place the file where they like. But *not* use the
download dialog. What I want is to display my site with a frame showing
download progress.

The idea being that if they navigate away from my site, the download stops.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Dan

Hi Kevin

YOu're talking about something that users would download first in order to
use our site? Is there such a control, or would I need to write one?

If so, where would I start? :O)

Cheers

Yup. A custom (which means, yes, you would have to write one) client-side
ActiveX control (.OCX). ActiveX Controls are probably easiest to write using
VB6. As for where to start, the Microsoft MSDN Library online would be a
good place.
