Can I make a web application of my IDL program? [message #70415] Wed, 07 April 2010 00:28 Go to next message

I've been reading about ActiveX and callable IDL, but the more I read
the more confused I get. Can somebody tell me if the following is
possible and where I should start searching for information:

I have an IDL application that I'd like to share with many of my
colleages on many computers. Installing and maintaining IDL on all
these is troublesome so I though I'd rather make an web-application
that runs on the intranet. The IDL application has GUI and is quite
large (several thousend codelines) and I'd hope to change as little as
possible.

I'm familiar with html and some visual basic, but I do not understand
ActiveX and COM and all this. I read that one should be familiar with
the latter to use it, but isn't there an example to reuse and expand?
Can it be so hard?

When it first appeared in IDL 7.0 it was an OS script (maybe Unix only?)
that created the distribution, but now it is a regular IDL routine. I
have used it for creating self-contained demos for people, but now I'm
using it when distributing a visualization tool for a commercial product.
