Adding Internet Features to ActiveX Documents

ActiveX documents allow you to take advantage of the Internet through use of the Hyperlink object, and the ability to download data asynchronously.

• Downloading Data Asynchronously   Asynchronously download data using the AsyncRead method in conjunction with the AsyncReadComplete event.

• Using the Hyperlink objects with ActiveX Documents   Using the properties and methods of the Hyperlink object, your ActiveX document can request a hyperlink-aware container, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, to jump to a given URL.
