What started most of this was reading too much on MS-web site and getting MS's SDK information for MS-Media Player. I was looking at my web site and adding a video and then saw this and that about the active-x control properties and recalled it from RBase. I then finally added the active from the list and.........
The rest is history. I got all excited yesterday and it carried over to today, I had to ask.

In addition ... . Specific ActiveX properties are defined by the developer of that ActiveX Control. . You must have the full knowledge and understanding of any ActiveX Control imported in R:BASE. . Contact the developer or vendor of ActiveX control for complete details prior to implementing the control in R:BASE forms. Technically, R:BASE 7.6, Turbo V-8 and R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 includes built-in support for running ActiveX controls in forms. Programmers can develop ActiveX controls in a variety of languages, including C, C++, Visual Basic, and Java. An ActiveX control is similar to a Java applet. Unlike Java applets, however, ActiveX controls have full access to the Windows operating system. This gives them much more power than Java applets, but with this power comes a certain risk that the applet may damage software or data on your machine. To control this risk, Microsoft developed a registration system so that applications can identify and authenticate an ActiveX control before implementing it. Another difference between Java applets and ActiveX controls is that Java applets can be written to run on all platforms, whereas ActiveX controls are currently limited to Windows environments. For a sample application to illustrate the use of ActiveX control in R:BASE, take a look at the following: Sample Applications: http://www.razzak.com/sampleapplications/ App: Integrating Windows Media Player ActiveX Control Properties Have fun!
