    What is the Optional Module "Client Bridge - ActiveXControl" good for ?

    I am currently considering to use a 3D Player which is available as an ActiveX Control; it is usable as an embedded browser plugin for IE, but NOT for FF; in fact if content for that player is encountered in web sites surfed with FF, the 3D player is openend in a new, dedicated window. The question now is: Does the optional ISC Module "Client Bridge - ActiveXControl" allow me to display embedded ActiveX Control windows in FF, too ? Or what is the aim of this module ?

    Hello SchlauKunde,

    The SmartClient ActiveXControl component simply dynamically generates an HTML <OBJECT> tag and makes it a moveable/resizeable/hidable/etc component similar to other SmartClient components, as well as applying a few workarounds.

    It doesn't really have the ability to take an ActiveX control that doesn't work in Firefox and make it work there - if the ActiveX control is coded so that it will open a new window and there is no setting provided to prevent this, then there no way to prevent this via Ajax either.
