Active X doesn't work properly

[Nexus_Guy]

Hi all,

I am not sure if this only impacts game maker games or other engines/programming languages, but any embedded object (active x) flashes and disappears and awaits for a refresh to showup momentarily. The best example is this file here https://susestudio.com/file/download/1029578/5206358 Its an example demonstrating the functionality of the dll (provides the active x browser) and the whole blank part you will observe is meant to be a web plugin browser. For confirmation reasons, right click anywhere around that area and if you are lucky, you will see the google page behind the context menu from the plugin.

This affects every other plugin even video playback ones and since the video playback refreshes every second it will continuosly flash as the video plays.

Is There a way to fix this?

Thanks,
Nexus_Guy

File a new bug if your test case doesn't fit any of the existing ones.

I don't see this happening. Have you already fix the issue?

No. Did it work on your side? Maybe you have some setting that wine doesn't provide out-of-the-box because I tried it on two different setups and it doesn't work. I have tried it in the past with an older computer and it didn't work back then as well.

Did this ages ago back when I had an older machine https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33332

You should update the bug with a comment that this is still an issue in current Wine. If there is no activity for a long time, it risks being closed as abandoned.

You might also want to look into Pipelight. http://pipelight.net

Updated the page. Also pipelight doesn't seem to have any plugins specifically for active x. They are very specific, like flash e.t.c

Also, this is more of an embedding error, but i can't change the title.
Realized not everyone can access the example file so here it is:
