11. Creating ActiveX  Documents


Creating the ActiveX Document Project:

After creating the above Standard EXE project, we will use the Wizard to convert this to document file.   Select ‘ActiveX Document Migration Wizard’ from the ‘Add-Ins’ menu.    Check whether this menu item is available in the ADD-Ins menu.  If not you have get it from ADD-In Manager. You will get the opening screen as shown in the figure 5.   It is only an informative screen.   Then click ‘next’.   You will get the second screen called the Form Selection screen as shown in the figure 6.    Select the form and click ‘next’.   You will get the options screen as shown in the figure 7.  Click the two options, ‘comment out invalid code’ and convert to ActiveX EXE’.   Then click next.    You will get the finish screen as shown in the figure 8.   When you click finish you will get the message box that the document is created.   Now select ‘make gradproj.exe. from the file menu.   This will create the document file  docform1.vbd. You will notice that the document project does not accept the End command given in the exit button.   You can remove that before you start the wizard.     Open the Internet Explorer window and view the docform1.vbd file.   You will find the gradient project working in this screen as shown in the figure 9.
