Use PWB as a Menu for Launching Applications

[Michael116]

We'd like to use PWB v3 as a menu for launching to Envisionware-related applications (PC Reservation and LPT: One Release Station). The applications are installed on the same computer hosting PWB. I have the HTML file created, but I can't seem to get PWB to allow the launch of these applications. Is this something that can be done using PWB?

Do the applications normally launch from Internet Explorer or Chrome?

I know this is possible in PWB v2 because I was doing it for Envisionware as well and a kids gaming computer to launch games.

The module is JavaExecute=PWBExecute I believe
Here is a thread on it.

The code you want to look at is
var play_link = "JavaScript:window.external.PWBExecute('C:\\\\shortcuts\\\\" + link + '\')';
I have to say this works really well and we have never had any problems with it. I do however want to move to V3 and am interested if Scott can shed some light if this is possible in V3.

The Dynamic External Java Commands are available in PWB v3 IE only as this is an Internet Explorer only functionality.

Unfortunately the functionality is not available in PWB v3 CEF.
