ActiveX Control OCX Target

Monkey Targets Forums/User Targets/ActiveX Control OCX Target

Of coarse this would be for windows only, but I think it would be rather cool if monkey games could be compile to an OCX component. This would allow monkey games to be embedded in a C++ dialog or Visual Basic form, as well as being able to communicate between a combination of the two.

I would make this myself, but the problem being I can only make ActiveX in C++, which I hate C++ and I'd much rather use VB, which I don't have and the trial expired + I won't be able to afford if for a while.

Anyone know if there is a VB IDE that is freeware/open source/NOT an illegal crack?

Thanks!

If you're talking about VB.NET, give SharpDevelop a shot.

Sharp Develop can't compile ActiveX, at least not from what I can see. I already tried it. Thanks anyways!

Well, This isn't exactly a target, but I made an activex control that can embed monkey games in exe format inside windows dialogs and forms. I'm also working on an instant play plugin for web browsers.

The control is called HostExe, and it's current version is 2.1 I'll post it for anyone who is interested tomorrow. But right now I need to get some sleep.
