Dynamically create an ActiveX control with a UI and put it in my page?

I've got an ActiveX control that I created and use in an HTML file. In that case, I have it in an <object> tag in the body. Works great.

Now I'm wanting to defer the creation of the object until some time AFTER the page loads. So I'm putting a place for it in the <body> using a <div id="myOCX"></div> placeholder.

I created a Javascript function that can create the ActiveX control, and it actually works. I can see that I get some logging information in some files. The problem is that the ActiveX control isn't visible. I don't see it. Normally the HTML file had something like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <OBJECT

      classid="clsid:xxxxxxxx-9473-40C2-951E-84B24727AD65"

      width="100%"

      height="100%"

      align="center"

      hspace="0"

      vspace="0"

>

The intent is to fill up the container it's in.

So if I have a Javascript function like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function makeOCX() {

   var newOCX = new ActiveXObject("gwdOCX.TheOCX");   // note - this works 

}

How do I make this the right size and get it to show up in the placeholder <div> I set up for it?

hi ...

i'm not familiar with activeX but typically you could be able to do the following:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
function makeOCX() {

   var newOCX = new ActiveXObject("gwdOCX.TheOCX");   // note - this works 

   newOCX.visible = true;

}

may be you could set the dimensions the same way ... newOCX.width = 'whatever', etc. ...

hope it helps,

kind regards
