What do you mean by 'program'?
A compiled program, like any .exe file you find on a PC running Windows.
In fact, technically it's the same thing.
Do you mean that any asp or php page uses ActiveX???... I don't believe that....
No.
It's not server-side.
It's client-side (in the browser) that it runs.
We specify in the HTML code which ActiveX control to execute and where to download it (like for plugins or Java applets).
asp, php... it doesn't matter what generates the HTML.
Examples of usage?
mm... For example, TestDirector is a complex application (too complex to be made in HTML) that runs in IE.
We access the TestDirector site through HTML pages, and it automatically downloads and runs the TestDirector program.
The program displays in the browser window.
It looks like any Windows software (being a Windows program, it can do everything any Windows program can do).
It's nice and clear, THANK YOU.
