James,
I am passively trying to do the same thing. I've got it to creating a signed
VB Active x control that shells out to the app (currently note pad). I want
to pass the app name to the active x control to open (maybe in a URL
variable, for example http://www.foo.com/Index.cfm?OpenAppID=NotePad to open
notepad.exe). Any thoughts on how I would do this?
Start VB code >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim rc As Double
rc = Shell(Text1.Text, vbMaximizedFocus)
End Sub
Private Sub UserControl_Initialize()
Text1.Text = "c:\notepad.exe"
Dim rc As Double
rc = Shell(Text1.Text, vbMaximizedFocus)
End Sub
End VB code >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Subject: OT: how to launch a windows app from a web page?
Has anyone ever successfully launched a Windows application from a web page?
If so, how? The only way I've found so far is using an ActiveX
component--but only in theory. I'm looking for source code I could modify
to launch a particular application.
Is it possible to simply use an <object> tag to launch the application?
Anyone know anything about this sort of thing?
Thanks,
James
