Title: Although interesting, the book fails to make ActiveX clear.
Product review: I have worked a little bit with ActiveX, but I was looking for a book that would clearly explain the different elements of ActiveX programming. Unfortunately, this book does not do that. The examples rely so heavily on the wizards that most of the code is written automaically. It then explains almost none of the code. Thus, after reading this book, it would still be difficult to do ActiveX development because, you wouldn't know what all the code was for. The first chapter is particularly poor. It is a review of Visual Basic which is pointless if you know VB, and way too short to be useful if you don't know VB. If you want a book to supplement other books on ActiveX, this is an okay choice. But, I would not reccomend it as a primary source to learn ActiveX.
