can't register to the activex-object events.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

hi,
it seems like i can't register to the activex object events (using 
addEventListener), fired events are not calling the listener method.
I also tried using attachEvent with the ieevent script enabled, wich also is 
not working.

the code i'm using-

<object id="actxObj" classid="..."></object>
<script>
actxObj.addEventListener('connect',Foo,false);
</script>

the events are working on IE using-

<script  for="objName" event="onEvent">
....
</script>

any known issues regarding that? any special way registering to events?

some code examples would be nice.

I've just found an if in AxHost.cpp:535 that might explain this issue.

Now some event cannot be fired corrected. Events are disabled in source, and 
will fix later.

Tried compiling the source also without success. Documentation for developers 
would be helpful...

What's the compile error you got? 
You need NPAPI SDK to compile the library.

I'll try to start from scratch again. 
Can you explain the problem? What events can't be fired? What do you mean by 
correct way?

Hi, I am facing same issue. 
There are few events supported by an ActiveX control (dataReceived, 
statusChanged, etc) which works fine with IE. 

Note: These are not HTML evets viz. Click , dblClick, Hover etc.

Appreciate if you could update the latest release on Chrome web Store.
