Progress on piloting Jmol from Visual Basic (VB)via WebBrowser
Considering the framework:
VB - HTML elements - Jmol functions
I switched to VB.NET for further testing, as that is the modern system,
and the few fragments of information concerning data retrieval were
relative to the NET system.
Great, that works ; in fact all 3 formats work.
thanks Otis and Bob
I'll try the Callback asap. Apparently 2-way communication does work,
see also:

I'm not sure yet if VB6 can do it. I am working on VB.NET in parallel

One step
OK, Michael, I'd say that is two steps forward, one back. The command is:
WebBrowser1.Document.parentWindow.execScript jmolScript(' + stringA +
')
But careful with those quotes. I've inserted double quotes to make it work,
but I would recommend instead:
stringA = “'load heme.pdb'”
Because
One step back,
I do not see how to send a variable from VB to the applet:
This works:
WebBrowser1.Document.parentWindow.execScript jmolScript('load heme.pdb')
This does not (as variable):
stringA = load heme.pdb
WebBrowser1.Document.parentWindow.execScript jmolScript(stringA)

Ok, I'll look into the i/o via JavaScript functions.
That immediately leads to the question of how to obtain a list of
available functions and their parameters/formats, etc.

Michael, I have no experience with VB, but regarding Javascript calls to Jmol,
all support is in
the Jmol.js library, and it supports html IDs for both applets and controls.
Maybe that's what
you need.

There you go! Much better. So
WebBrowser3.Document.parentWindow.execScript alert(jmolScript)
should just show you the function, just as it did there.

To be specifc, I think this will work:
JavaScript...
function myWhateverCallback(appID,a,b,c,d,e,f) {
window.external.vbCallback(appID,a,b,c,d,e,f);
}
You might have to be careful to match the number of arguments in that.
Look for errors in the browser error console -- oh, this is MSIE...

Michael, my reading of that discussion is that you have access to all the
normal objects and functions on the page, just like normal HTML in a
browser. So there should be no need to futz with other objects. You just
have to experiment a bit and see what you can find. This page uses Jmol.js,

Hello Bob and others,
here is a a progress report on 2 way direct communication.
First a reminder that I'm programming
Ah, interesting. What you really need to do is explore whether you can use
JavaScript functions on that page and call them from Visual Basic. Here's a
link to a possibility:

Hi Bob,
Is there a way I can access this type of JavaScript functionality from my Java
app that embeds Jmol and talks to it through the JmolViewer?
JmolViewer jmolViewer = JmolViewer.allocateViewer(this, new
SmarterJmolAdapter(), null, null, null, null, null);
Thanks,

You can get all the callbacks to your app. Is that what you mean?

Sure, from the app, you should be able to just do something like this:
load $someChemicalName
like
load $cholesterol
or a SMILES string:
load $CCC(C)CCO

Speaking of public databases, this might be a time to test the facility that
has been in Jmol for quite some time -- the ability of the UNSIGNED applet
to access remote files via a JavaScript interface. I don't think anyone has
capitalized on this, but there is a St. Olaf server that is built into

So, Otis, what I am wondering about is whether you would allow us to add
jmolLoadAjax_STOLAF_NIH
to Jmol.js. It would allow any applet (or knowledgeable user on any applet's
page) to load any of the NIH models into Jmol directly, without need for the
signed applet. You can try this yourself for
