Hi Eberhard,

Alejandro has written this VS4WEB framework. It seems not to be at the sugar
web site - but
you can email him ( his site: www.smalltalking.net ).

The wrapper should solve the IE6 problem. It is just beating MS with their
own weapons.


What has to be written: An COM-Server which acts as a shell for Squeak and
receives commands from the ActiveX wrapper. VS4WEB contains a COM-Server in
VSE. Because Squeak can not be easily used as COM-Server ( missing
Windows-Infrastructure and VM-Limits ) a small COM-Server must be written to
hand over some essential parameters, received from the ActiveX-Wrapper like
the Explorers client areas WindowHandle. Lightweight IPC can be used for
interaction between
the ActiveXWrapper(s) and the Squeak "COM-Server".

The stuff offers more possibilities than plugin's because Squeak can stay
active - even if the user leaves the page. More than one ActiveX Wrapper can
communicate with Squeak at the same time.
