Hi folks, I'n trying to do an OpenGL viewer that works on IExplorer browser. I've found an example in Sulaco's site and he use ActiveX objects for that. It works well and I would use it if i hadn't found a little trouble with it... To fully work, the ActiveX object MUST be downloaded to the client's machine and so a problem has arised...Today's version of Windows XP, comes with a high level security for that ActiveX stuff. It means that, if you leave default settings and attempts to enter a site with a ActiveX object the browser won't start downloading it. It even don't warn you and asks your permission. It gives a msg saying that you aren't allowed to do that and fuck off. I need other ways of creating a GL Viewport instead of using ActiveX one's...I thought on Java Applet but the Java VM doesn't come with Windows too... Any ideas on how doing this? Any ideas how I ccan bypass that security thing in IExplore browser? Or any other ways to create a GL Viewport in a browser? [edited by - brucesinner on June 12, 2003 10:02:25 AM]

I might be wrong (usually am) but isn''t there a way of certifying your ActiveX control - either by a certificate or by using code that can''t be malicious?

I don''t really know so don''t jump on me if I''m wrong

Maybe you''re right...I''ll try to look forward it...
But that''s not the way I''ll like to do this...there must be a better way...some new way...new technology...

Any help...

Also, have you looked into VRML (does it still exist???)

When I did OpenGL thinks in a webpage, I used GL4Java

Maybe what you need, maybe not. It''s a very old page, mind you (1996).

Thanks dudes! I''ll look the information you have provided!
