- I've been researching this issue, since I too wish to create OCX's
- under Borland C++ 5.0 to avoid having to re-tool with Visual C++ which
- has excellent support the creation of OCX's.
-
- Borland don't provide anything at present other than the ability to
- contain OCX's in your applications (they assure me they're working on
- it). Last week Microsoft released a light-weight OCX development kit
- for their Internet ActiveX product.
-
- It contains a framework that does not need MFC (hurrah!) and it is
- available online at www.microsoft.com/intdev (follow the links for the
- ActiveX developer kit from there). It's about 12 MB so plan on a
- 3-hour download at 14.4 modem rates :(
-
- I'm trying to build it under Borland 5.0 and I'll report on progress
- as it happens.
