vbscript, Prevent object from being download

Prevent object from being download

Author	Message
Lennart Won #1 / 7	Prevent object from being download I used a trial-and-error method to check whether the MS Agent components are installed in the user machine. I force the object to perform some task and then trap the error number to determine the object being installed or not. The problem is that the browser will always ask me whether I want to download the object and I don't want that message to come up at all. I want to make it that if the object is not there, then fall through to the next statement without interruption. Do anyone know how to prevent the browser to ask me that question? Thank you!

Hi, If you use CreateObject in script, rather than the <object> tag, then you will not be prompted to download the object - it will just fail. Peter -- Peter J.

But it will fail with an error, in which case unless you are running IE5, that's not a lot of good is it? wouldn't it be better to just do it with an object tag without the codebase part? which won't prompt a download will it? And won't throw an error and you can test the agent object without throwing any errors. Jim

Lennart Won #4 / 7	Prevent object from being download I solved the problem by using the combination of On Error Resume Next, CreatObject method, and the IsObject() check. That works fine for me. I think from IE4 on this combination of code should work and IE4 is all I care about in this project. Thank you very much for everyone's help! I really do appreciate that.

Good point. Upgrades are the answer ;-) Peter -- Peter J. Torr - Microsoft Windows Script Program Manager Please do not e-mail me with questions - post them to this newsgroup instead. Thankyou!

Hi, Actually, come to think of it, I read this first in a non-JScript group, and as you can see, I used "CreateObject" (not "new ActiveXObject"). So you could use "On Error Resume Next" in VBScript and you'd be fine in IE 3 and 4 as well. And you wouldn't care about Navigator, because you're using ActiveX controls. Peter -- Peter J.

Fair comment, I read it only in a JScript group, and as he'd mentioned webpages just assumed you were losing your marbles and didn't feel the need to point it out... :-) Quote: > So you could use "On Error Resume Next" in VBScript and you'd be fine in IE > 3 and 4 as well.

Ah.. but I read this in a JScript group, and I'm still ignoring Navigator - I only installed it today for the first time in months to do the demo mentioned in the other thread and to check that new Layer() did work as I remembered before posting it... I try and forget about navigator as much as possible... I hadn't noticed it was going outside of a JScript group... My only problems with the Agent control, is that for some reason he won't co-exist with my own ActiveX control in the same window... Jim.
