We contract to create plugins, ActiveX controls, and macros for various applications.

ActiveX controls
For use with Internet Explorer, all Microsoft office products, and a number of other applications, we create customer-specific controls. Such controls can also be used to increase effectivity of your internal Visual Basic development, as they integrate very smoothly into the VB workbench and offer all the well known support for VB programmers.

Mozilla Firefox ®
A notable plugin developed by us for all Gecko-based products (especially Firefox, of course), is the O2C Player. Examples of it's use can be found on our projects-page.

This plugin defines a pretty extensive programming interface. About 60 properties are accessible via JavaScript, as well as about 120 callable methods. Of course, there is an ActiveX variant too. From a programmer's point of view, there is only a minor difference between the two versions. The O2C player notifies the application of about 15 basic events, some of which provide additional information to dispatch sub-events.

Very few Firefox plugins support such a rich bi-directional interface.

This plugin is also available as an extension for Google Chrome.

COMponents
COM objects are close relatives of ActiveX Controls, but usually not visible at the user interface. (To be precise, ActiveX Controls are special COM objects.)

You can use COM objects as magical helpers of your ASP Internet page, or in your Visual Basic or C#/.NET application. Many developers use COM objects, or would like to use them, if objects fitting their needs existed.

We create components specially for your needs.

You are offering a telescope or dome control and would like to control them with Astronomers Control Panel? No problem, we can create the needed COM object to integrate your control.

You would like to render charts with informations about a production process on your Intranet site? Again, not a problem at all, we provide you with the tools to easily create this site.

Other Aplications
Many aplications offer macro or extension interfaces. We have created such extensions for various applications in the past:

  • Adobe Acrobat
    Allows the embedding of plugins into Acrobat Reader as well as the Acrobat professional products for PDF production.
  • Photoshop
    Allows the automation of complex Photoshop processes, for example the export of different variants of a project with varying layer visibility.
  • ArCon
    Allowing complex extensions of the program, up to the seemless integration into other applications (for example, to create a catalogue for ordering customised off-the-shelf houses).

This is not a complete list, and for everything there is a first time — if you need a plugin for an application not mentioned here, please just ask us!
