RE: is it possible to control one app from another?

[John Cole <JohnC () LGEFCU org>]

Howdy!

Here's the scenario.  I have a website.  I have an activex script called
launchinie.dll and it has been installed and allowed to run on a computer.
The website calls this activex script and starts up the program that
utilizes the IE dll's.  Would this scenario work?

Thank you,
John Cole

If the window you wish to control is another browser that you
have opened up, in code, within the controlling browser than
yes.

otherwise, no (i imagine), not unless the permissions on the 
controlling window are such that it can use activeX to chat 
to the other windows by sending them messages.

Howdy all!

I'm just wondering if it is possible to have a script in 1 IE (5.0/5.5/6.0)
window control functions in another program that utilizes the IE dll files
for displaying information.

Any links, code, or documentation about this would be appreciated.

Thank you,
John Cole, TICSA
