activexobject

I am creating a HTML page where I need to display the names of the files present in the specific local folder, example - C:\Users\User1\Documents\folder1 . I tried to write the code in java script but have not succeeded yet. Most of the question threads mention about "ActiveXObject" to be used but that itself does not work for me. Reference: JavaScript: Read files in folder Can anyone help me in achieving this? duskwuff In general, you can't do that. Web pages do not have access to the local filesystem. Chrome can access the contents of a directory that is selected using a file input field.

I have a ASP.NET application that allows users to export their staff's absences each month to Microsoft Excel. The application is currently generating the following exception Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component. with the following stack trace System.Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject(String ProgId, String ServerName) at HR.ManagerSummary.ExportToExcel() in H:\Development\pagec\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\HR\ysnet2\Time\ManagerSummary.aspx.vb:line 935 at HR.ManagerSummary.btnExcel_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in H:

In C# I can write event handlers as follows: var wdApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application(); wdApp.DocumentBeforeSave += (Document doc, ref bool saveAsUI, ref bool cancel) => { //do stuff here }; In VBA/VB6, I can use static event handling: Dim WithEvents wdApp As Word.Application Private Sub wdApp_DocumentBeforeSave(ByVal Doc As Document, SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) 'do stuff here End Sub I would prefer to use dynamic event handling. However, in Javascript, even when using static event handling with the syntax described here : var wdApp = new ActiveXObject('Word

I'd like to create a COM object in C#, and use it via IDispatch from JScript. That part is pretty simple. I also want to implement simple callbacks on the COM object, similar to the event exposed by the XmlHttpRequest object that is usable in a browser. That model allows Javascript to attach event handlers like this: var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("MSXML.XMLHTTP"); xmlhttp.onReadyStateChange = function() { ... }; I want my client-side JScript code to look like this: var myObject = new ActiveXObject("MyObject.ProgId"); myObject.onMyCustomEvent = function(..args here..) { ... }; What does the C

I've tried to implement my own modal dialogs ( Why? ). I open a new window using WScript.Shell : dlg = shell.Run(dlgPath, 1, true); The line above creates a "semi-modal" HTA window. The script execution is stopped at this line, but the main window is still responsive. This issue is tackled within onfocusin eventhandler, which returns focus back to the new HTA window using shell.AppActivate() . This prevents even "Close Window" button to close the main window. However, in Windows7 there's a back gate to close the main window, the icon in Windows Task Bar. If the main window is closed, a decent
