Title: HTML code controlling application
Post by: Fab on January 20, 2006, 04:39:21 AM
I have created a dialog with a web control on it (the control is called WBDLL.DLL its one of the dlls thats included in radasm). It displays (local or internet) pages fine. I was wondering if it would be possible to send the application that has the control on it messages from the webpage?

It would make things alot easier (designing an applications layout would be so quick). for example having a link on the page that says 'options' and when you click that link, instead of changing page, it'll pop up an options window from your application.

The control uses internet explorer to display pages

Thanks,
Fab  :eek

Yes and no. You need to do a lot of work first. Just having web pages issue commands to the browser control would be a huge security risk. If you really want to proceed with this you should code a browser helper object which would intercept the link navigation.
