About the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer ActiveX Control   Go to parent topic

The Autodesk MapGuide Viewer ActiveX Control works only with Microsoft® Internet Explorer on Windows systems. It exposes an API that is accessible from VBScript, JScript (Microsoft's implementation of JavaScript), and Java. The Autodesk MapGuide Viewer ActiveX Control API is exposed through ActiveX Control/COM technology. If you develop an application only for the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer ActiveX Control, users can access that application only with Internet Explorer. If someone tries to view your application with Netscape, it will fail. You can also write stand-alone applications for the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer ActiveX Control with Visual Basic or C++. In this case, no browser is required, as your stand-alone application takes the place of a browser.
