ActiveX control want display on other computers

[Randy Jordan]

I have created an ActiveX Control for the Internet using Visual Basic
Control
Creation and also using National Instrument's Labview Component Works.
It displays locally and on a Internet Unix server from my PC (Windows
98),
but when I try to display it on another PC on the Internet it does not
display.
I made sure I placed the .cab file and .htm in the same directory on our
Unix server.
I also modified the codebase line for the .cab in the .htm file to not
be the same case
size for the UNIX server. I also used the LPK tool to create a License
package.

Do I need to get a Certificate before the ActiveX Control will display
on other users computers (other than the development computer) across
the Internet?

Could someone please help me with this issue? Thanks.

I use Internet Explorer version 5 to view it. What I did is go to tools>InternetOptions>security>Internet>custom level
then go to ActiveX category, in the "download signed activeX control" sub item, select prompt.Then select enable for the rest sub items in the ActiveX category.This way work with some computers(and my computer which has internet explorer version 5) but doesn't work with Internet Explorer 6. I don't know why either.

Hi Randy,
as far as I know the things are:
- you made a ActiveX control
- in order to see your control, another computer should download it first
- it will download it if the Internet settings (on that specific PC) will allow this
- most of the users have "download unsigned controls" option disabled and "download signed controls" option on prompt
- thus, you will need a signature in order to have your control downloaded by many others
- to obtain a signature (digital ID) take a look on www.verisign.com (http://www.verisign.com/developer/rsc/gd/authenticode/)
that's it, hope I didn't forget something
