Subject: RE: getting RealPlayer version from ActiveX control
Hello again
What i was hoping to do was get the version info of the ActiveX control in a
page where there is no embedded RealPlayer and the browser may have an older
version, such as RealPlayer 5. In such a case, the help docos seem to
suggest that i couldn't use GetVersionInfo().
I am doing something similar for Flash (on a page with no Flash player
embedded):
bFlashInstalled =
(IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.4")))
This detects the presence of Flash4 and returns "true".
Using the following to detect RealPlayer 5 doesn't seem to work:
bRealInstalled = (IsObject(CreateObject("RealVideo.RealVideo(tm) ActiveX
Control (32-bit).5")))
The only thing wich works so far is:
bRealInstalled = (IsObject(CreateObject("RealVideo.RealVideo(tm) ActiveX
Control (32-bit)")))
Which returns "true" to indicate that some indeterminate version of
RealPlayer is present.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Munawar
