Folks,

My son is pushing me to create an activeX control that allows drag and
drop images into blog web pages! His suggestion was to use Visual Basic
which I do not know or have on this machine. However I see in the BB
documentation that (from ObxCalc documentation)

"With only these five procedures we get a fully working interactive
view. The view can be saved to a file (without its internal state) and
copied using Drag & Drop or Copy & Paste, it can be printed, and under
Windows, it can be exported as ActiveX object into any ActiveX container."

Now, its the sentence "it can be exported as ActiveX object..." that
throws me. How?

What do you mean by "export" when we are dealing with a non-BlackBox
environment? Must one create a dll for the module with a dummny import
interface or what?

Has anyone created, from BlackBox, an ActiveX control that is then
useable outside of BlackBox by other applications?

-Doug
