Question

Hi,

How IE identifies installed flash player is old and you need to install new one

For Ex:

When you open a webpage IS displays a message

"You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video."

I would like to know

1) Complete process how IE finds the version info of current installed and get the new one

2) Which are interfaces need to be implemented by a ActiveX to support this kind of behavior

I am developing an ActiveX control and I would like to do the same..

Please help me....
