Hey,
What I am trying to do essentially seems very simple but I have never used Active X before and just have a few basic questions.
I have a text/database file that will load a list of different objects for example: Dog, Cat, Mouse etc. There will be another program running at the same time on another screen that is like a viewer that will display images of what in the list. Now Say someone selects the cat , I want the controller to go into the other application and highlight the Cat(The program has a highlight function).
First, is this possible? Or Im I using the wrong tools here.
From my understanding Active x is ideal for this situation? Or would it be better to create a vb.net application that just takes control of the other?
EDIT: I should also add that the program usually works with vb scripts and that is usually how we get things done but right now we need something a little more robust.
I appreciate any help! Thanks
