Unlike other ActiveX controls, Active Forms are not first designed and then wrapped by an ActiveX wrapper class. Instead, the ActiveForm wizard generates a blank form that you design later when the wizard leaves you in the Form Designer.
When an ActiveForm is deployed on the Web, Delphi creates an HTML page to contain the reference to the ActiveForm and specify its location on the page. The ActiveForm can then displayed and run from a Web browser. Inside the browser, the form behaves just like a stand-alone Delphi form. The form can contain any VCL components or ActiveX controls, including custom-built VCL controls.
You can change the default names for the CoClass, implementation unit, and ActiveX library project. Similarly, this wizard lets you indicate whether you want your Active Form to require a license, whether it should include version information, and whether you want an About box form.
When you exit the wizard, it generates the following:
After you have designed and compiled the ActiveForm project into an ActiveX library (which has the OCX extension), you can deploy the project to your Web server and Delphi creates a test HTML page with a reference to the ActiveForm.
