Last query about Internet Explorer and Labview

Hi there!
Ok, I've managed to open URL in Internet Explorer from within LabView
(thanks Dennis Knutson), but is there any way to include IE browser in
a labview container to make it part of a project, without using
ActiveX (coz compatibility troubles) ???
thanks a lot!!!
Mesca

Mesca,
Yes, but it is the long hard way. You can use the System Exec.vi to launch IE from the command line. If you give it a URL as a parameter on the command line (iexplore.exe http://www.ni.com), then IE will open that page. The downside to this is that this is all you can do. Once you launch the browser, it is a separate program that you have no hooks into. You would have to launch a new browser window for each page you want to launch.

  • What Can Be Done About Internet Explorer and iWeb '08?

    I just finished building a website for a small business - my father's vet clinic - in iWeb. He wanted to use a program that would allow him to update the website himself. Everything looks fine on the Mac side of things, of course, and even on the Firefox Windows browser, though the picture galleries don't seem to load on some machines. In IE, however, links don't work, they go to the wrong pages, graphics don't display correctly, and the functionality of certain pages in compromised. I've been browsing on the boards and I am aware of the endless complaints of iWeb and IE compatibility, but I didn't know if someone could suggest some workarounds for me.
    Here's the site: http://frvet.com
    I am in the process of learning CSS site design, and I can lay out a fairly simple page manually, but there is a learning curve for it and my father won't be able to do his own updates. I suppose that he could learn the basics of Dreamweaver or something. At least Dreamweaver is more consistent. I made this site using the white template and just customized it. Thanks in advance for any feedback you can give me.

    Here's some pointers on getting your site to load in IE.
    Use web safe fonts.
    Don't convert text to graphics.
    Optimize all your images.
    Don't use drop shadows, reflections etc. ( You can add these in iWeb, take a snapshot, crop it and load the resulting JPEG to replace the original.}
    Keep your page file sizes down to a minimum.
    Run your files through an optimizing application before uploading.
    Don't use the standard iWeb navigation.

    You can try if it works if you disable OOPP (Out-Of-Process-Plugins) for Flash
    You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)

  • Flash Player Freezing and Crashing Internet explorer and Google Chrome

    Hello,
         I have a dell xps 16 running on i7, windows 7 home premium 64 bit, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd. For at least a year i have been having problems viewing sites that use flash player such as youtube, and facebook. I orginally thought my anti virus was the problem because when ever I uninstalled it the flash began to work. I switched anti-virus programs about 3 times go from mcafee to kaspersky to avg 9.0 full...and it still would freeze up on me. Now it  has been 2 weeks since I uninstalled avg 9.0 and now it has started freezing up my internet explorer and chrome when ever i go to youtube or facebook. Also for some strange reasion it also is making some of my programs like pinnacle studios 14, itunes, and window media player unresponsive. Currently I have taken flash out of my computer. And i have to use my ipad to view youtube videos..but i still can not view flash. I have heard this has happended to many people on mulitple o.s. , Please help. I have tried reinstalling it and it says that instalation failed evertime. Ive also tried reinstalling my os with no success. I ve tried reseting my browsers and reinstalling them....no success.

    Hi a, I wonder what happened since it was working on 7/21/10. Then after you Installed AVG9 you started having problems, even after disabling the AVG add ons, etc.
    You have had this freezing issue for awhile and I don't know what is causing it, although cleaning up McAfee certainly helped and the Re-Install of Flash Player.
    I think the first thing you should do is go to the Kaspersky website and find out if there is an Uninstaller to use and use it if there is. Then I would go to AVG 9 and do the same. Then Reboot after using each one. That way you will have had a Clean Uninstall of both of them.
    Then go to Microsoft and Install Windows Defender. That way you would have some protection and that along with the Windows Firewall will help until we see what is causing this freezing and then you can Install AVG again.
    Also these: Dellweb cam central, informational alerts, dell data safe online, oovoo, fastaccess.. I wonder if any or a combination are conflicting. Have you had these for sometime or were any added about the time you started having issues? I am not familiar with them, but if they are in your system tray, I would guess they use Flash? I would try to disable them all at once, try your websites, especially youtube. If you have no problem, enable only one of those and test youtube again. Then enable another one and so on and if any are conflicting, you will be able to find the one.
    Thanks

  • Get Internet explore and Microsoft Office version from own PC

    hi experts,
    Is it possible to find out which version Internet Explore and Microsoft Office you have installed in your computer within an ABAP Program?
    Is there a function module or a method to get out of these information from your computer?
    Alternative is using some Java or Visual basic codes witin an ABAP program: if yes, please provide some example codes.
    Best regards
    LN

    Nick & Manohar are right......This method is working.....I was just checking it out.....
    On your PC, Goto START->RUN->REGEDIT
    For MS Word
    Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT->Word.Document->CurVer
    You will get a default registry value of type  REG_SZ with value Word.Document.12
    The last two digits indicate the version of MS word installed (Refer Microsoft Support link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822005 )
    Word 2010 14.0
    Word 2007 12.0
    Word 2003 11.0
    Word 2002 10.0
    Word 2000   9.0
    For IE
    Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Internet Explorer
    You will find a registry value of type  REG_SZ with the version no of the installed component.
    Now, in ABAP program call the method to get the current versions.....
    DATA: v_ver_word TYPE string,
          v_ver_ie   TYPE string.
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value
      EXPORTING
        root      = cl_gui_frontend_services=>hkey_classes_root
        key       = 'Word.Document\CurVer'
      IMPORTING
        reg_value = v_ver_word.
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value
      EXPORTING
        root      = cl_gui_frontend_services=>hkey_local_machine
        key       = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer'
        value     = 'Version'
      IMPORTING
        reg_value = v_ver_ie.

  • I installed the latest update, and tried to reply to an email right after. The email looked like a bunch of cymbals, arrows, font names, parts of the email. So I opened it up with Internet Explorer, and all was normal. How do I get this fixed?

    The latest update was the source of the problem. I was replying to emails, and the update popped up. I updated. I continued to reply to emails, and the whole page had arrows, symbols, brackets, font names, red correction lines, etc.
    I opened my emails in Internet Explorer, and everything was normal. How do I fix this?

    I look at it like this, it was a solution to my problem. There is obviously something wrong with the new version. When everyone starts complaining, and some genius figures out the fix, then I will worry about the upgrade. Until then, I am fine with running 4.0. I have to disagree with you though. 6.0 is a downgrade for sure. There is a lot to be desired compared to this version. Who wants price gong, and screwed up emails. Not me. The problem is out there, and now someone needs to work on the bug fixes on this BETA version.

  • Mm_menu.js HTML5 changes Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox

    Mozilla Technical Support,
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/bg182625(v=vs.85).aspx
    mm_menu.js is an output of Dreamweaver and enables drop-down menus. Microsoft is eliminating
    document.all and replacing it with document.getElementById
    to comply with HTML5 standards
    I modified mm_menu.js as Microsoft recommended (so I thought) and it worked perfectly well in Internet Explorer. However, I couldn’t get the drop-down menus in Mozilla Firefox. What do I need to do to get mm_menu.js to work or does Firefox need to make additional modifications?
    FYI, I tried using the following quick fix which resulted in the Internet Explorer page displaying incorrectly:
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"/>
    See below for the modified version of mm_menu.js
    It would be nice if the same javascript worked in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
    Thanks,
    Robin Rembish

    Yeah, it would have been nice if IE had followed web standards over the years before IE11 came out so that programs like Dreamweaver would have "gotten it right" from the beginning, instead of their users having to "patch" the code output by Dreamweaver to make it compatible now. That's what the "like Gecko" is all about = make it work like Mozilla.
    Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

  • I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

    Question
    I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

    I had this hotmail issue myself a while back. I Googled, scanned MS website, scanned MSN website, visited forums, couldn't figure it out. I tried Firefox and Opera and even changed the Opera mask setting from Opera to Internet Explorer. Nothing worked. My best guess was that I was signing on (with the new MSN Live as opposed to MSN Hotmail - the OLD interface) with the "Remember me on this computer?" box checked. I now make sure it is un-checked (which is not the default) and hotmail lets me in.
    Not exactly sure if that is the real remedy, but thot I'd throw the story your way just in case...

  • Firefox will no longer play videos and keeps telling me to download the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer which I have done 5 times but still get the same message when I try to play videos. I can play videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome .

    Recently when I try to play a video on Firefox I get the same message that I need to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. At least 5 times I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player Plugin 64 bit. Problem is that even though I have the latest version I still get the same message when I try to watch videos on Firefox. The frustrating thing is I can watch videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome as well as on Safari. How does that make sense?
    Today, I upgraded to Firefox 10.0.2 (x86eng-us) hoping that would enable me to watch video on Firefox but it made no difference either. I would rather use Firefox as my default browser but if I can't get help so I can view video on it I will be forced to use another browser.

    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.

  • Flash video, .4fv files in particular won't play in Firefox - Any one have any suggesstions? I already updated my Flash player and plays in Internet Explorer and Chrome

    If you look at this page in Firefox, http://www.vpi-corp.com/Empower-Demo/index-iframe.asp, you will see that the html portion of the page loads, and if you right click in the white area in the middle, the Flash is present as well. I can view this page correctly in Internet Explorer and Chrome. I have tried to export the movie as far back as Flash 7.0, but will not resolve. I have also been able to see this video for a while in Firefox, but then mysteriously went away. Any help would be appreciated. I suspect some patch to the programming on this page will be necessary.
