First thing that you have to do is to create the ActiveX control. This can be done in VB, or in VC++ using MFC activeX ot ATL activex. Then you need to mark this ActiveX as Safe for scripting , safe for initialization. And if you want to put the ActiveX on a public site, you also need to sign the ActiveX. This proccess implies to buy a digital signature from a third-pirty, microsoft partener. Then you will just put the ActiveX in a web page (you can use for that the Microsoft Control ActiveX pad), and the activeX is ready to work.<br />

Good luck

OK basically what I'm trying to make is an HTML editor that someone can use from a website. &nbsp;Yes I do realize I can purchase one, but we are building a product to sell, so this will not work.<br />
<br />
Can anyone point me to some resources that will help me get started on creating my first activex control? &nbsp;It would specifcally be nice if it would explain how to get IE to load the activex control as well.<br />

How do I create an ActiveX control for use on webpages?

Web development software is used to create websites for both the Internet and intranets. Software can be either locally installed or operated through a cloud interface, and ranges in complexity from simple text editors to full-fledged integrated development environments (IDEs) that include graphics, video, audio, scripting and database support.

Web Development Software

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
