Hi friends,
I want to run an application on Client Side when they visits webpage both in Win98 & win Nt ( I know how to do it if client system is win NT )
I need a way that i can do this in both win98 & win NT
is there another way to do this ?
( If i can include registry key with vbscript than also it's ok coz. throught registry i can run app. atleast once )
Your expertise on this topic is extremely needed :confused:
Pl. Im learning VBScript
Thankz...

hi,
I think that you will have problems with this...
Normally the browser will (should) stop anything like this. (otherwise what stops someone writting a webpage that runs something on the client that in not good (like shelling a del *.* in the system 32 dir!)).
I have code that indeed does this but they are really browser exploits and some have been patched....

Having said that I did a activex control to do a similar type of thing.
On our intranet the users wanted a set of buttons on a -portal- webpage. These buttons would be marked word/excel/mailbox etc.... clicking the button on the webpage the users wanted the appropriate app to run...
Although I said that this was dodgy, the business overruled me. I created a control that, when given an app name from a javascript, it then located where the app is on the machine (as user have app installed differently etc..). It then shells the app in question, which runs.
I can enclose my workbook if it helps although this doesnt really answer your first question...
If this would be usefull I will enclose, cheers, A.J.P
I am also looking for the ans. and its not a bug which needs to be exploited because, hotmail.com opens up windows messenger on your pc if you have one.
Do let me know if any one finds it out.:)
tnk God that sum1 have a similar objective as i am.
jpritchard, cud u share to me the code u did on javascript.
additionally, how would i use an activeX ctrl's method on vbscript? for example, i used kodak's image edit ctrl. i was able to pass on its width,height and other of its basic properties. my problem is that if i tried to show an image through its DISPLAY method, nothing happens.
so, how would i use a method of an activeX ctrl.
ye it's possible thru ActiveX controls...
u can use
<Object clsid = "10245-256812-696547"> tag ..
but if the security for ActiveX controls not allowed then ????????
hi dRAMmer,
Im not sure how similar our requirements are..... but am happy to share code..
enclosed is my workbook - also in the zip file is a html file,
dump the content of the zip into a subdir under wwwroot
as shahid said controls are loaded via the object tag
in my app I just passed in a string to the control, from the webpage as the method was called
(
the javascript has the following
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function RunExcel()
{
uclaunch.Application_Execute("... big fat sting ...")
}
-->
</script>
which executes a sub in my vb
Public Sub Application_Execute(regpathkey As Variant)
)
---
but thats pretty rubbish - I should have made the parameter passed a property instead...
---
in the control
Public Property Let myprop(ByVal tmpstring As String)
...some code.. like myglobalvar = tmpstring
End Property
and in the html..
.
.
<FORM NAME="myform" ID="myform">
<OBJECT ID="myctrl"
CLASSID="CLSID:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
CODEBASE="myctrl.CAB#version=12,0,0,0">
</OBJECT>
</FORM>
<script language="JScript">
document.myform.myctrl.myprop = "mybigstringx--x";
document.myform.myctrl.myprop.mainmethod();
</script>
.
.
so something similar....
send me some code U are trying with the kodak control and I will have a go....
cheers, A.J.P
ps - as shahid said - if activex have been disabled on the your pc (or your users pc's), then this all activex controls will fail - (when this happens I encourage my users to understand the zones and add the site in question to the trusted zone (where it is normal to allow actxcontrols to run..) )
is that ok?
