ActiveX Allowed or Not

I have a control that uses activeX, but is not completely activeX. dont ask how just believe me.

I want to be able to determine if the user has disabled activeX so i can prevent my control from running.

if activeX is disabled or dis-allowed then the control will start its job and not finish, so i would rather just not start it.

does anyone know of a way to check this?

I'm sorry but I don't know C#, but I'll bet somone here does:

You could either open a new question in that area or create a pointer question that links to this question and hope that someone from that area comes over to help. Or, keep this thread open for a while and maybe someone else will see this question who can help convert it.

thanx, i figured it out. i based my code on what you showed me.
i used vbscript / javascript.
here is what i did.

VBScript Function:

'
' Function ActiveXEnabled
'
function activexenabled()
on error resume next
activex = (NOT IsNull(CreateObject("ScriptBridge.ScriptBridge")))
activex2 = (NOT IsNull(CreateObject("MSComctlLib.Slider")))
activex3 = (NOT IsNull(CreateObject("ScriptBridge.ScriptBridge.1")))
if (activex OR activex2 OR activex3) then
activexenabled = true
else
activexenabled = false
end if
end function

I used javascript to call the function and test for ActiveX being enabled / disabled.

If it was disabled, i used the javascript document.writeln to comment out the ActiveX control.

works perfectly.

thank you.

Cool. That looks like a nice adaptation.
