This review is from: Activex from the Ground Up (Paperback)

I bought Inside COM by Dale Rogerson and this book to learn how to build an ActiveX control that I can embed in the web page. Inside COM is a great book. This one is not. It just never reaches "up" and stays ground. Hundreds of pages are wasted in issues with security and HTML. The only useful information I could get out is from page 131-140 where it explains about building a cabinet file and HTML that embeds the cabinet.
