ActiveX controls in SDL windows

SDL Development
1

From http://www.imbens.nl/testactivex.zip (29kB) you can download a VC6
project with a minimal example of how to embed ActiveX controls in an SDL
Window. The specific example uses the MSIE WebBrowser control, so you need
to have IE (preferrably version 4.0 or higher) installed to use the sample.
You also need SDL 1.2.6 from CVS. It is relatively straight forward to
modify the code to use eg. a Flash control.

I tried the code with the DirectX driver and the WinDib driver. Both work
fine as long as you don’t go into fullscreen mode.

Can someone explain why this filtering is done, or is it a bug?

It was left over from some really old Win32 sample code. :slight_smile:

Thanks! This is fixed in CVS. Oh, BTW, it might be nice to add a demo
of using ActiveX controls in SDL windows to the SDL demo page.

See ya!
