Hi Ege,

 

My client is trying to invoke a Laserfiche search from a 3rd party application inside a HTML page. I found this https://support.laserfiche.com/forums.aspx?Link=viewtopic.php%3ft%3d17402%26amp that explains how it should work. I intend to try it myself and make my recommendations to the customer.

 

Should I recommend ImageEnable ? I know that it is still supported in SDK 9 but it may be deprecated. 

 

Best regards,

If the product they are integrating with is web-based, it might be easier to integrate with Web Access.  It also avoids the problem about having the ActiveX control installed and having permissions set up to allow it to run.  If you do want to use the desktop client, one idea is to send an LFE shortcut to the browser, which will be opened by the client.

 

CAT is .Net-based, so you can't interface with it the same way.  But it's not too hard to write a COM-callable helper class which should let you perform similar functionality, so there should be an upgrade path if/when ImageEnable is discontinued.

JavaScript runs inside a browser and cannot interact with the rest of the system.

 

Can you please describe what you are trying to do?
