1. ActiveX and Types of ActiveX Components in VB - Visual Basic

2. ActiveX control in python vs ActiveX control in vb 6 (piece of code)

Hello,

I am trying to mograte from vb 6 to python.

I have a very usefull AX control. It can be :
    -just a bitmap
    -an active picture where you can plot data and put cursors
    -a data explorer

Those 3 behavior are driven by one property in visual studio when you
insert the AX control in a form: the property ModuleName:
   -'default' for bitmap
   -'Picture' for a picture



I try to insert this AX control in a wxpython based application (I
used one of the example delivered with wx) but when I try to change
the property to get an active picture it does not work and display me
the default bitmap :(


Here is the pice of code

5. VB6 ActiveX (OCX) Development: ActiveX tries to modify it磗 own label

6. Question about ActiveX Controls and ActiveX DLLs.

When is it best to use/create an OCX project versus an ActiveX DLL? I ask 
this because I have a project (client side) that uploads and downloads files 
using WinInet.

I have a VB front end (for testing and debugging). At the end of the day, I 
want to automatically download the components to the client via the browser. 
I understand and realize that IE browser security setting can hinder 
installation, which is fine and we'll deal with "Digital Signing" at a later 
date once we know all works well. However, I'm not sure whether to create an 
OCX or DLL, and indeed "Which is Best".

As I'm still realativley new to this kind of thing, I've talked to other 
peers and it seems that generally it is a "Developer Preferrence" as to the 
direction to take.

I'm a little skeptical about this approach as I would think there would be 
some "Accepted Practices or Guidelines" to determine the best course of 
action.

I would appreciate some general direction.

8. VB6 ActiveX (OCX) Development: ActiveX tries to modify it磗 own label

Hi  NG,
we have the following Problem:
We are developing an VB6- ActiveX that contains a form a label and a Module
with Sub.
The ActiveX- Form includes the label.
- From the ActiveX form I can access the label via "UserControl.label....".
- If we trie to access the label from Sub in the Module (the module is part
of the ActiveX) we have no access, the Syntax  "UserControl.Label..." is not
possible it seemed that we have no access to this label.
- The same problem occurs if we have a class integrated in the ActiveX and
the class tries to modify the label.
What do we have to change that we can access the label.

Please note: We are not talking about the ActiveX- Interface to other
applications, the problem occurs internal in the ActiveX

Best regards from germany
