ActiveX object fetching new dll's jtalbot_vizible 11-01-2005

Hello,

Our application can be run as an activex object which our company
distributes as a signed cab file. All good so far.

But we'd also like to be able to update the activex object with new
dll's (not just update to the existing dll's, but actually new
functionality). These new dll's could be created by us or by others.

We could do that easily by just downloading new dll's, saving them in
the same directory as our activex control, and loading them up. The
problem with the above scenario is security. Is there a way to harness
the Internet Explorer activex security implementation so that it takes
care of verifying if a dll that our activex control downloads is signed
our not, prompts the user to allow this or not, etc.?

Thanks
jdt
