download control?

[Guest]

Hi peeps,

I'm trying to find a control for downloading from my website.

What I want to do is allow users to download quite a large file, use the
Save As dialog so they can place the file where they like. But *not* use the
download dialog. What I want is to display my site with a frame showing
download progress.

The idea being that if they navigate away from my site, the download stops.

Any ideas?

Cheers


Dan

Custom client-side ActiveX control.

Hi Kevin

YOu're talking about something that users would download first in order to
use our site? Is there such a control, or would I need to write one?

If so, where would I start? :O)

Cheers

Yup. A custom (which means, yes, you would have to write one) client-side
ActiveX control (.OCX). ActiveX Controls are probably easiest to write using
VB6. As for where to start, the Microsoft MSDN Library online would be a
good place.
