[REBOL] RebolView/DLL experiments
From: bry::itnisk::com at: 8-Mar-2004 14:09
So in my continuing experiments with the
RebolView/DLL I found the following:
RebolView/DLL will run in ActiveDesktop, it
will run in Internet Explorer, if a plugin
running in IE crashes no other plugin will
run in IE until IE is shutdown, but
ActiveDesktop running plugins will run.
RebolView/DLL will run in an explorer bar, I
am however having trouble thinking of any
reasonable use for an explorer bar rebol
script as it isn't possible to pass context
from the browser main window to the plugin
(although I was thinking it would be
possible to have a simple text db that the
the bar passed info to via javascript, that
the referenced rebol script could access and
see what to do)
here's an stupid scripting trick for ya:
running a rebol script in an explorer bar
that consists of browse url
will open a new instance of IE with the
explorer bar open, in which case the script
gets called again and opens a new instance
of IE with the explorer bar open, and so on
and so on :)
A plugin in a webview .htt file crashes,
this by the way confirms again my earlier
post as to how the crash of a RebolView/DLL
only effects instances of the plugin running
on the same thread, as when a webview
crashes it also crashes ActiveDesktop, but
instances of IE can still run the plugin
with no problem.
As it turns out the error in a webview
hosting of plugin seems basically to be the
security settings, given the following error
message:
** Access Error: Cannot
open
/C/projects/tests/files2
r
** Near: do/args script
system/script/args
quit
>>
anyway, i think what I would like most for
the RebolView/DLL would be an extra optional
parameter, that would be accessible from the
script as its arguments, in that way there
could be at least one way communication from
the brower to the plugin.
