GeckoActiveXObject for Mozilla

[hir]

Hi,

I am creating an object of .Net ActiveX dll using GeckoActiveXObject in the javascript.

Object is created but can not call a method of the dll using this object.
It is giving an error like "Type error ...test2() is not a function"

My javascript function is..

function comEventOccured()
{
       try
       {
      if(window.GeckoActiveXObject) 
             alert("gecko present");
            a = new GeckoActiveXObject("ParialTestClass.Class1");
            alert(a);
             var b = a.test2("aa"); ////error is coming on this line
           }
      catch( e )
         {
           alert("exception..."+e);
         }
}

ActiveXObject works with IE only,

Kind regards,

ya thats true but i m executing following code in Mozilla/Firefox.

In case of IF it is perfectly working fine using CreateActiveXObject but in case of Mozilla i am using GeckoActiveXObject which is not working

I assume you're using the Mozilla ActiveX plugin. Make sure the version number exactly corresponds with the version that you have. According to that page, it only goes up to 1.5. I don't think it will work on newer versions.

ok.then what if i want to do the same thing on higher version?
Am i going in the right direction? or i have to create Plugin using NPAPI for moizlla and call my .net activex dll in it?

Is there any particular reason why you want to use ActiveX in Mozilla?

[hir]

yes, actually we have a project in which we have to create a .net dll with number of methods.These methods in turn will communicate with database via webservices.
Now, on the interface side , the frontend is developed in flex which can be opened up in either IE or Mozilla/Firefox.
So the Javascript and the Flex client will be on the same page and from the javascript we will have to call methods from the .net dll.

In case of IE we have achieved this using CreateActiveXObject.
But in case of Mozilla i could not find the way to do the same thing.

I know this is a bit complicated.

Is this for a custom/legacy application or for an intranet user group?

If it is, just use IE for that particular application.

If not, this plug-in is not recommended for widespread use.

yes ... i fully agree ... in case you have a closed/strict IE environmet using activeX may be a good idea ... in case you need a cross-browser application ... it is really a bad idea ... in this case you should use another technology ... have a look: we create a XUL-based intranet-application ... so a user HAS TO use a gecko-based browser ... we would never try to make that cross-browser-applicable ... it would be too much effort and whatfor? we simply say: 'use mozilla to use the application ... its an intranet so we can :) ' ... in case we would have to create a webapplication ... we wouldn't had used the XUL-technology ... for sure ;)

kind regards
