Hello all.
I'm very new at activex. I usually program in Cold Fusion.
But I now have need to use "something" to monitor the serial port of a workstation, using the browser (it will be IE 5.5. and up).
Basically the user will browse in the program to a certain page where There are a series of form fields, and will click on a "Collect Data" button. Where the activex control will monitor the serial port. A device attached to the workstation will take some measurements, and send a string of CSV data to the serial port. The activex control should pass receive this string, and pass it to a script (either javascript, or vbscript, or jscript), where it will be parsed and put into the input text boxes (according to the position in the incoming string).
I can do the scripting (I believe) but I don't know how to do the activeX. Does anyone know of anything like this?
Thanks in advance.
