Is there any way for ActiveX controls to work on Linux? I’d imagine the answer is no, but just want to be sure.
My company is considering a Linux port of a ASP.NET project (using Mono), but it uses ActiveX controls quite heavily, so we wonder if it’s even feasible.
Sorry if the question is dumb!
Even if ActiveX were supported on Linux, you still should not use it, since it is rather alien (as in ‘hard to maintain’) on that environment.
My advice is to rewrite the entire project with AJAX or flash in such a manner that it will run in any browser on most any platform.
Mono is not ActiveX! Even if you could rewrite using client side mono for activeX, your code would only run if the client machine has a mono installation.
