I am looking for a complete sample project in VB 6 for an ActiveX control that will run inside Microsoft Word XP/2003/2007/2010. Here is the functionality this sample should have: - Ability for this ActiveX control to display a small image inline in the Word document depending on a simple setting (for example a radio button selection on the config dialog) - This object will be inserted into the document via MS Word VB Script using somthing similar to [login to view URL] ("[login to view URL]"). I already have the add-in, so to test this sample you can create a simple macro assigned to a keystroke in MS Word. I must be able to set the actual image via VB Script after the object is created/inserted. - Ability for this ActiveX control to save/load (stream) simple settings when the Word document is saved / loaded - Ability to respond to either a double click or right click to "edit" the control by bringing up a simple dialog box prompting for several simple settings (checkboxes, dropdowns, text boxes, etc) - Can be used in Word XP, 2003, 2007, 2010 (windows only)? - Ability to size the object from within Word. This should stretch the image. - Ability to expose a method that can be called from a MS Word VBScript add in to retrieve the value of the text entered in the dialog. - Ability to expose a method that can be called to change the image of the object ... for example [login to view URL](1) - The ActiveX control can be sized, and the image will be stretched to the new size. - Ability for me to sign this ActiveX object with my own digital certificate - Ability to insert hundreds of this control on a single document with no "bad effects" ## Deliverables * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Wednesday May 26, 2010 6:17:19 PM: I want to thank everyone for responding to this bid request. After doing some research about using .NET for ActiveX controls, it became clear that .NET C# may not be the best way to create ActiveX controls. There are reports of incompatibilities, stability problems, and there is not a lot of experience in using C# to develop this type of ActiveX control. VB 6 still appears to be the dominent way to create these still. So I have modified the requirements to use VB 6 to build the ActiveX control. I believe this will also be an easier sample since there is so much experience in VB 6. I have updated the requirements on this bid request to change from C# to VB. Please let me know if you have any questions. Do you have experience developing ActiveX controls using VB 6? If so, what is your time estimate and bid?
