I am new to developing ActiveX controls and I'm stuck on the deployment
part. I understand that I should package the control in a signed CAB
file and that I need to use INF files somehow. What I'm not clear on
is, how do I package the image files my control needs along with the
activeX control?
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to create the CAB file. The cab file
contains the control and the images. I have a webpage successfully
loading the control; however, the control doesn't know where to look
for the images it needs (graphics for buttons and such).
Do I need to create an INF file to tell IE to install the image files
in a specific folder on the client's computer and use that hard coded
path in the ActiveX control? So, for example, somehow setup the INF to
copy the images files to c:\test_folder\images and then just use that
hard coded path inside the control?
I'm just not clear on how to deploy the sup****ting files along with the
ActiveX control and could use some help here. I could also use some
help with properly using the INF file.
thanks
