Starting external program from Gira Home Server?

Question

We use Gira Home Server in combination with Pro-Face displays in a project and since the displays are driven by Win XP we have also installed a software for alarm management in the same display. The problem encountered is to switch between the applications. The GIRA interface is covering the display and we have no keyboard for ALT+TAB. Is there any way to switch to the other active application from the home-server app?

Answer 1

Here´s a script that might do the trick, just let a Homeserver Icon call a locally stored HTML file with following content

<HTML>
 <HEAD>
 </HEAD>

<script language="JavaScript">
  function launchApp(strCmdLine)
  {
    var obj = new ActiveXObject("LaunchinIE.Launch");
    obj.LaunchApplication(strCmdLine);
  }
</script>

 <BODY>
  <body bgcolor="#000000"> 
<a
href="javascript:launchApp('c:\\windows\\whateverprogram.exe')">
<img border="0" src="hauptmenue_alarm_ico.jpg"></a>
 </BODY>
</HTML>

Good luck

1	You can try to use a virtual keyboard like Toucht-IT (http://www.chessware.ch/virtual-keyboard/index.php). From there you can use the ALT-TAB if you want to. There is a freeware version available that you can use. answered Mar 23 '10 at 14:30 EB ♦♦ 1502●5●14●28
