I was messing around with it and it seems pretty slick being able to run our app from internet explorer and not having to install any runtimes on the client PC's. However I can't get the application to 'detach' itself from IE so users can have access to the file menus.


<html>
<head>
<title>My Application</title>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<LINK href="style/style.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
</head>

<body>
<Object id="AcuThinAX" Width=850 Height=710
classid="clsid:087C768D-64C1-4AC1-845D-4589B4B2C24E"
codebase="www.acucorp.com/.../acuthinax800.cab
[B][COLOR="Red"]<param name="AcuEmbedded" value="FALSE">[/COLOR][/B]
<Param name="AcuCommandLine" VALUE="localhost:5632 MYPROG">
</OBJECT>
</body>
</html>


The highlighted portion is supposed to 'detach' the application from the browser but it does not... any subsequent windows that open in the app are outside of the browser, but not the main window. Any ideas are appreciated.

    Perhaps the security setting of your browser does not allow pop up windows?

    I don't think that's it, I tried disabling the pop-up blocker with no effect. Also any sub windows that open from the main application open up 'detached' from the browser.

    It seems the window type might have something to do with it. Floating windows are always detatched no matter what the flag is set to, so are independent windows. It's the initial windows that don't seem to want to detach themselves.

    I don't think the flag highlighted above makes any difference...
