Java Question

[Mowgli1647545497]

Anyone here know how to call activex com objects or controls from java? (Not j++ cuz I need it to be runnable without the microsoft's jvm, if possible)

 

I need to capture a click event in an html page. I've got a panel that encapsulates the browser (jdic) but it's interface doesn't give me access to the click events.

 

Help is appreciated. I'll buy a beer and lunch to whoever can pony up how this dang thing is done.

Im using JACOB to do something along these lines. It may do what you need.

thanks for the tips. both of those were meant to be used by embedded java applets - our java that needs to capture the event will be out of context from the html itself, and outside the encapsulated browser.

 

we're using jdic to encapsulate the browser - it exposes 4 methods in its interface, and we think we have a way to use one of them to accomplish what we need.

Assign a javascript or vb function to the onclick attribute of the html tag that you want to trigger a call to your control.

 

Note: pretend the ^ are opening and closing characters (< >) (forum doesn't like HTML tags in our posts!)

 

^script^

function myJSFunction(){

// make the activeX call here

}

^/script^

.

.

.

 

// intentional typo below

^button oncclick="myJSFunction()"/^
