ActiveX object not getting created on mobile IE

[George]

I have created a COM object using ATL and I have successfully registered with
window mobile 6 emulator. But when I use IE with a page that has the
following code
var x = new ActiveXObject("XYZ.MyCustomObject");, I get an object error. The
first time I run it, I also get a dialog that says "Some content cannot be
displayed because of Smartphone security settings"

If I try the same code (suitably modified) for win32, it works as expected
on my desktop application. Any idea why it is not working in winCE?

Thanks Keon.

You are right - I had to modify my registry settings to allow the ActiveX
object to load. Even implementing IObjectSafety did not help.

Internet Explorer for Windows CE(or Internet Explorer Mobile) does not allow
users to download ActiveX controls through the browser. However, a Web page
can still load and run ActiveX controls that are built into the run-time
image or that were installed by ActiveSync and CAB file, if the browser
determines the control is safe to load.
When Internet Explorer receives a request to load an ActiveX control, it
checks the URL security zones settings in the browser to determine whether
the control can be run, and if the user should be notified that a control is
to be loaded.
So, you should check your COM(ActiveX) registered in devices registry
successfully and which security zone run your web page(Local intranet, Trust
Zone and so on...).

I have an C++ ATL ActiveX object that compiles and deploys to my C
device but does not instantiate in Internet Explorer Mobile

Windows CE 5.
Internet Explorer Mobile "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Window
CE)

(I have implemented IObjectSafety.

Can you please tell me which registry settings you had to change

After deploying my ActiveX object to the CE device, I used CE registr
editor ('CeRegEditor - free registry editor for PDA PocketPC WindowsC
WindowsMobile(WM)' (http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl)) to edit the registr
settings as described in the MSDN article 'URL Moniker Registry Setting
(Windows CE .NET 4.2)
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms908714.aspx

This allowed the ActiveX object to run
