duke A discovery about how and when ActiveX custom events are handled
Hey All,
I just discovered an issue relating to custom events fired from ActiveX controls, which I think is worth sharing. First, a little background is in order. I developed an ActiveX control that fires a custom event. I tested the control using the MS ActiveX Test Container and that worked fine. I also ran the control within a "normal" html page and this also worked insomuch as the event fired and was handled by the script. But when I embedded this HTML as an S-Control, the event was never handled by the script. It was as if the event wasn't firing even though it was. I converted my JavaScript into VBScript, but still no luck. Then I tried a newer version of IE 6.0 and it worked! It appears that custom ActiveX events are handled when using IE 6.0.2900, but they are not handled in IE 6.0.2800. FYI.
