Absolutely! Thanks for your interest. We'd love to get your feedback as 
well since we are still very much in the design/development phase of 
this project and the more user feedback the better.

A completely simple version of the control is posted to 
https://producersdk.helixcommunity.org/source/browse/producersdk/activex/ctrl/ 
(you'll need to be registered with the community to view this). The 
simple version only demonstrates some of the basic interfaces. You'll 
find a sample html/vbscript that demonstrates the current state of 
things in that directory called 'vbscript_example.htm'.

To do anything with this you'll need the file 'prodctrl.dll' which must 
be compiled though our build system (read below on setting up the build 
system). I'll post the binary version of the sample control dll in the 
next couple of days with some instructions on how to test it. Please 
register with dev at helix-producer.helixcommunity.org to get an update 
when I do post that.

The source for prodctrl.dll up there now is only a prototype of the 
interfaces (how we'll pass properties, call methods, receive events and 
return array of strings). Its does not have any encoding functionality 
yet. If you actually want to test with this control, you'll need to 
compile it and then register it first with 'regsrv32.exe prodctrl.dll' 
before trying to run the html or load the control in a VB form. If you 
do try to load the control in the VB IDE, look for the item called 'ctrl 
1.0 Type Library' in the Components list (right click on control toolbar 
in VB IDE). Make sure its producer by looking for the Name property 
which should be "ProducerCtrl1" by default.

In the next couples days I'll be posting an interface spec with 
interfaces documented and be looking for feedback on that. I'll also be 
posting news about the info in the previous paragraph as soon as I can 
come up for a breath of air. The spec for the ActiveX control is already 
available here:
https://helix-producer.helixcommunity.org/specs/ActiveX/index.html

Setting up the Build system
If you want to test out the control as it is now, you will need to set 
up our build system and compile producer. Information on setting up our 
build system is available in the Quick Start Guide on the helix-producer 
project page here:
https://producersdk.helixcommunity.org/tutorials/producer_quickstart_guide.htm

Sorry for the rather detailed message. Let me know if you have more 
questions or if I did not quite address your question. Thanks again for 
your interest in Helix Producer.
