| Can anyone help me? I got VSSPell active X component, and it's an OCX primarially designed for Visual Basic, the creators of the OCX tell me it will work on an ASP page but do not have any examples and refuse to help, how do I run the OCX from my ASP page? I got as far as creating the object with the <object> tag and runat=server with the class ID being ok, but how do I actually do the coding in it? |

| You would need to refer to their documentation to get a list of methods etc. |

If you have visual studion, use their object browser to check it out. You have to register it first. Couple of vspell info links you may/may not have http://search.componentone.com/search.asp?mode=browse&area=%2FSpell+for+%2ENET%2FKnowledge+Base+Articles - http://search.componentone.com/search.asp?mode=browse&ar ea=%2FSpell+for+%2ENET%2FKnowledge+Base+Articles And someone who had some problems with it - http://weblogs.asp.net/rmclaws/archive/2004/03/30/104134.aspx - http://weblogs.asp.net/rmclaws/archive/2004/03/30/104134.asp x -------------

Here's an example of embedding an activeX control - Windows media playerr
In your situation, you'd want to include the codebase attribute in the object tag which indicates the source of the ActiveX cab file. For compatibility with older Nestscape browsers, you'd need to follow up the object tags with embed tags to define a plugin. I'd just say the page requires ActiveX and leave it at that. -------------

| The company is pretty useless, I asked if they could tell me how, or have any tutorials or send me any example files on how to run it off an ASP page, but they refused, a guaranteed sale if they would just tell me. |

That last link I posted seems to indicate that a lot of other people share your opinion of them. If you follow the thread there though, some people make recommendations of alternaticves. -------------

| Unfortunatly there aren't enough good alternatives out there because it needs to have a thesaurus as well. |

| Component One are a usually a very good company. They have some very cool .NET components and demonstrate how to use them with this source project http://c1webmarket.componentone.com/c1webmarket/ - http://c1webmarket.componentone.com/c1webmarket/ . Maybe they are just poor for ActiveX components. |
