ActiveX SDK FAQ
|
This document contains answers to frequently asked questions about the ActiveX SDK.
|
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 HTML Reference
|
This reference describes the construction of interactive documents
based on the open HTML 3.2 standard. It describes the elements necessary
to create the basic HTML document, and also explains HTML lists, tables,
frames, objects, ActiveX Controls, and so on.
|
ActiveX Controls
|
This document describes ActiveX Controls, an extensible solution for
creating objects that can be inserted universally into Web pages,
Microsoft Visual Basic® applications, and other OLE-enabled documents
and applications.
|
Scripting Services
|
This document contains a description of how to use Microsoft Visual
Basic Scripting Edition or other scripting languages to add interactive
action to Web pages through OLE Automation.
|
Object Model for Scripting
|
This document introduces the Internet Explorer scripting object model,
a structure for embedding VBScript and JScript commands or programs inside
HTML documents. The object model is fully compatible with Netscape
LiveScript/JavaScript. The object model is also accessible from any
"pluggable" scripting language that integrates with the ActiveX Scripting
framework.
|
ActiveX Scripting
|
This document introduces a new way to add scripting and OLE Automation
capabilities to programs. ActiveX Scripting allows "script hosts" to call
upon "pluggable" scripting engines from multiple sources and vendors to
perform scripting between components. The script itselflanguage, syntax,
persistent format, execution model, and so onis left to the script vendor.
|
ActiveX Documents
|
This document describes ways to create new document viewers that can
be hosted from various OLE Document Object containers such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
|
Web Browsing Objects
|
This document describes WebBrowser, the Microsoft Internet Explorer
ActiveX Control that developers can use to embed Internet browsing
capabilities inside their applications, and WebBrowserApp, an OLE
Automation object that developers can use to control the stand-alone
Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) application from within another
application.
|
Win32 Internet API Programmer's Reference
|
This reference describes the Win32 Internet (WinInet) functions,
which provide stand-alone applications with easy access to standard
Internet protocols such as Gopher, FTP, and HTTP, abstracting the
protocols into a high-level interface that is familiar to Win32 developers.
|
Software Development Kit for JAVA
|
The Microsoft SDK for Java provides the tools, information, and samples that you need to develop great Java programs and applets. The SDK contains Microsoft's latest Virtual Machine for Java as well as the latest tools, packages, and other enhancements.
|
Internet Data Download Services
|
This document describes the interfaces and functions that support
downloading data from Internet locations (URLs).
|
Signing with Authenticode Technology
|
Microsoft and other software vendors have proposed a new security
standard that uses digital signatures to provide shrink-wrap-like
accountability for potentially dangerous code downloaded from the Internet.
Digital signatures associate a software vendor's name with a file, thus
assuring some level of accountability for the software. This is an open
standard, and it will be used to sign all forms of executable code on all
platforms, including ActiveX Controls, Netscape plugins, and platform-dependent
Java classes. This section in the ActiveX SDK explains how to digitally sign
files with the new Authenticode technology. For additional references to
Authenticode specifications and documentation, visit the
Authenticode site.
|
Internet Shortcuts API Reference
|
This document explains the Internet Shortcuts API for managing
"shortcuts" to URL locations.
|
Internet Ratings API Reference
|
The Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS) is a W3C group
chartered to define a standard for the creation of rating systems and
rating information. PICS is the open W3C standard for solving the
problems with minors accessing adult content on the Internet. This
document describes how to support ratings on the Microsoft Internet
Explorer platform. It is intended for HTML authors who wish to support
PICS ratings on their sites, and also for programmers who are developing
Web authoring or viewing tools and applications.
|
WebPost API Reference
|
This reference describes the WebPost API, which allows
authoring tools and other applications to easily post Web pages (files)
to any Internet Web site. The WebPost functions can be used
to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), determine the protocol
needed to copy the files, and so on. These functions can also display
a wizard to guide the user through posting a file.
|
Cabinet (.CAB) File Technology: Data Compression and Disk Layout
|
This document describes a technology you can use to store multiple
files in a single cabinet (.CAB) file, perform compression across file
boundaries, and permit files to span cabinets. While existing products
such as PKZIP, LHARC, and ARJ support some of these features, combining
all three does not appear to be common practice. This technology also
supports self-extracting archives by simply concatenating a cabinet file
to EXTRACT.EXE. For additional information about the CAB file format, also see CAB Technology.
|
ActiveX COM Reference
|
The ActiveX COM Reference documents the interfaces, functions,
structures, and enumerations defined in the header files and
interface definition language files of the ActiveX SDK. It
describes implementations of COM interfaces and objects provided
with the SDK, as well as registry entries made by functions that
are part of the SDK.
|
ActiveX Conferencing Software Development Kit
|
This SDK provides capabilities for adding conferencing support to your
Web page or application. It includes a set of ActiveX Conferencing Win32®
APIs that adds conferencing support to Win32-based applications; ActiveX
Conferencing Controls that allow you to add conferencing support to Web
pages (using JScript or Visual Basic® Scripting Edition [VBScript]),
Visual Basic applications, and other OLE-enabled documents and applications;
and a set of Conferencing COM objects based on the OLE Component Object
Model that allows you to add conferencing support to COM applications.

Mail and News Integration
|
This documentation describes how to make your e-mail reader or newsreader
available in the list of mail/news programs for Internet Explorer, and to integrate tightly
with Internet Explorer.
|
Microsoft Crypto API
|
This documentation describes the application programming interface
(API) that your Win32-based application can call to support
cryptography.

Win32 Common Controls Update
|
This document contains information about new Windows 95 common controls
features. The chapters cover background information and implementation details
for new controls such as the rebar control, the date and time picker control, and
the month calendar control. Additionally, the chapters cover many new features
for existing common controls. This update document complements the existing
information about common controls in the Win32 SDK.
Note: The Common Controls technology is offered as a preview in this release of the ActiveX SDK. This documentation presents an early look at the technology that Microsoft plans to fully implement by the final release of Internet Explorer 4.0.
This information is subject to change; Internet Explorer 3.0 supports only part of this technology. Please refer to your ActiveX SDK installation of ...\INetSDK\Include\CommCtrl.h to determine which features of Common Controls are supported with this release.
