<object> usage in ASPX page after IE update

I have one window form created in C#;
before the security update update KB912812(Cumulative security update
for Internet Explorer)
I use this window form inside a ASPX page using:

<object id="MyControl" height="100%" width="100%"
classid="/MyWinControls.dll#Module.TestDesign.Components.EditorControl"
</object>

and it work perfect;

After the security update was install, I must activate the control
before use it;
the message "Click to activate and use this control" appear and I must
double-click on the control before use it;

I have try to use Microsoft solution to create a JavaScript function
that will insert the text from the Object tag...but it doesn't work;
the control is no longer initiated;

Any idea how shoul I use the win control in order to skip the
"activate"?
Any idea what is wrong?

For work arounds you have to write the element in javascript. You can find
