Detecting Plug in

We are trying to record browser information when a customer comes to our
site. I have been able to get most basic browser information using both asp
and asp.net. The only thing I’m missing is the ability to detect plug-ins.
Does anyone know how I can access the plug-in collection in IE? I have not
found any clear way of doing it on the internet I’m starting to think I am
headed down the wrong path. Maybe IE doesn‘t call it a plug-in collection???

Thanks for any help you can give me.

you are correct, IE does not have a plugin collection. in IE you generally
try to create the object, if the create fails, then its not installed, or
not allowed. google for detecting adobe or flash in IE for lots of examples.

Hi All I have a Javascript to detect whether a client's browser has flash installed, but as so many people are putting me off relying on Javascript, could you please let me know if you know how to detect whether a browser has flash installed using ASP. Many thanks. Robbie

Hi, I am running a script to find out the plug-ins installed in my pc. I run the same script both in IE 6.0 and Netcape 7.1, but I got different results. IE says "JavaScript couldn't find any plugins", and Netcape returns a table listing all plug-ins. Can anyone tell me why this happens? Thanks! ---------------------------the script----------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"> <html...

On one of my web pages there is an java applets which works fine on my computer. However I noticed on some other computer that the run of java applets are disabled. I got an error message "Classnotfound" Is there a way to detect (with cgi resp. javascript) if java applets are allowed? I would like to show a simple picture instead of the applet pane if applets are not allowed. Wladimir

I did a search and basically came up with nothing for this question, but if I missed the answer, I apologize in advance, please just point me in the right direction. OK, I am using a JavaScript generated menu on my site; with CSS enabled it looks great, but when CSS is disabled it prints out all these menu options inline and you have to scroll past them (a pain in the ass). Is there any way to tell if the user has CSS enabled or disabled...

This may not be a direct C# question, but since I'll be using using C# for development, I thought I'd pose the question here. I'll soon be involved in the design of a new software product that will employ a software "Plug-In" architecture. Taking the plug-in route will give us a design that can adapt to, as yet, undefined future requirements (within the scope of the plug-in interface spec of course). In the past I've done this with...

I have a .NET 1.1 C# app (lets call it MyApp.exe) which is designed to do some boring thing (not important now) but it can be extended with plug-ins. These plug-ins are subclasses of a type (PlugInBase) contained in a shared assembly (MySDK.dll). At startup, MyApp.exe reads the registry for a list of plug-in assemblies to load from the GAC. These assemblies are instanciated (using Assembly.Load) and searched for types that subclass...

Hi, I'm now making a plug-in for a CG software. I embed Python in a plugin and it works. The problem is that it conflicts with other plugins that also embeds Python because it runs in the same thread. I don't know when Py_Initialize() and Py_Finalize() are executed because I don't know when user loads/unloads a plugin that embeds Python. Is there any right way to embed Python in a plug-in under the following conditions? If not, what...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
