Hello there, I know that this thread might be quite old, but hope you are still there.
I'm looking to create an Activex from a DLL I have. I don't know the source code of the DLL, but I do have documentation of its methods.

The idea is to call this Activex from a HTML page, so I could interact with the original DLL. Is this possible?
What do I need to do it? I can imagine that I should write some classes/methods in, for example, Visual Basic that call the DLL, and then save it as an Activex. Am I right?

Sorry if the question is quite confusing.

What sort of DLL, a COM one or native Windows (C style)?
One problem you may have is security, IE is quite strict on what controls you can create without reducing security levels.

Joe, thanks for your reply. I'm afraid that the DLL is a C style DLL. I'm also aware that some security restrictions may inhibit its execution, however I might my able to change that in my explorer at least to try whether it work or not.

Thanks.

Well you should be able to write a COM wrapper that calls the native functions, providing you have their method signatures.

Interesting. I've never done something like that. Do you have an example or know where can I get one?

Thanks.

This link should help, you don't need the first section as you already have the C DLL. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/106553
You basically DECLARE all your functions and point to the ones in the DLL. You can then compile your code to an ActiveX library and call from script.
The main problems are finding the VB6 equivalents for some of the C variable types.

Alternatively, as a wax playlist is only an XML file, you could just manipulate it via the DOM, see http://www.midistudio.com/MPlayer9/embedWAX.htm for ideas.
