There are two "problems" i'm having with gadget.
1. The gadget loads successfully and loads the activex dll embeded in the object tag
<object id="control" classid="clsid:129E4D52-C256-11DB-8745-427D56D89593" ></object>
But unlike other gadgets not using the ActiveX\COM, i can't just click anywhere on the form and drag the gadget somewhere. I have to move over to the right side of the gadget and get the sliver of pixels showing just to get the little bar to show that has the exit, settings, and selecting bar. Is there code i can use in the c# to allow clicking and moving of the form to 'push through' to the gadgets's default click and moving of the gadget Same question goes for hovering over a normal gadget vs hovering over my activex embedded in the gadget. :)
Which brings me to my next question..
2. Most gadgets i've seen have something like:
<g:background id="background" src="images/Docked.png" style="position:absolute; z-index:-999" />
to show how you want it it displayed, most of which are rounded squares, vs normal hard edged squares. But when i add my activex object, regardless of the fact that the image used in the for the "control"'s background originally had rounded edges and the remaining background was transparent, it replaces the supposed-to-be transparency with white. Do i need to edit code from within my c#, or is there code that i need to edit in my html to allow my gadget to be something other than a boring block.
Thanks for any help, and sorry if i'm a little to confusing :P

C#\ActiveX\COM - Display Questions
Vijay Guru Prasadh
Instead of designing my gui's look in the control that was compiled into my .dll\ActiveX\COM, i made the control size as small as i could, while still allowing functionality. I then made my background image that was originally used as the background of the control, and put that as my gadget background. This reduced the area of the gadget that didn't respond to my "click and move" as well as it allowed the normal graphic functions of a gadget to work properly :)
Once i got the rgb values matched up between the control background and the picture, it looks nice :)
Now all that's left is to submit my gadget to gallery,live.com :)
