Hello,
Is there a way to start a program on the client computer from an asp page?
I.E. The user clicks a button, and word starts up. (of course if they have
word on their comp.)
Thanks,
Chuck

If the link downloads a .doc file and the user allows this (via configuration
or prompt), then sure.

Standard browser security settings prohibit this behavior.
One way around it would be to send the user a blank .DOC file, which it will
open in Word after the user accepts the prompt.

Thanks,
What I am trying to accomplish is the following:
I have an application that allows the user to draw a picture. What I am
looking for is, once the client download the program and installs it, when
they visit my web site and click on a button, that the program executes if
it is installed.
Simular to resident ActiveX controls used on other web sites like
PCPitstop.com
If I am not thinking right on this matter, how should I be thinking?
Thanks,
Chuck

With an activex control you could do this, because activex controls have
more privileges than standard javascript.

I have a vb6 control that allows for a person to scribble on an area on a
web page.
Most of the time the control does not work on peoples computers becuase of
their security setting.
Is there a way to make a button on the page that they can click that will
download the control and make it work whenever they go to the web page (so I
won't get all these security problems)?
I know how to put the button on the page and how to make it download, but I
am not sure if this will solve the problem and what file to have them
download and how it would get installed.
I have a cab file that contains the following files. If this is what is
needed how do you install it?
Msvbvm60.dll
MyControl.inf
MyControl.ocx
I am trying to find a work around to make this always work.
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi,
I use the standard example to start a program:
Private Sub StartWithArguments()
' Declare and instantiate a new process component.
Dim myproc As System.Diagnostics.Process
myproc = New System.Diagnostics.Process
' Do not receive an event when the process exits.
myproc.EnableRaisingEvents = False

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.

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,...
