Autodesk MapGuide Viewer ActiveX Control for Internet Explorer
The Autodesk MapGuide Viewer ActiveX Control exposes an API that is
accessible from VBScript, JScript (Microsoft’s implementation of JavaScript),
and Java. The ActiveX Control API is exposed through ActiveX/COM/Auto-
mation technology. If you develop an application
only
for the ActiveX
Control version of the Viewer, users can access that application with Internet
Explorer only; if someone tries to view your application with Netscape, it will
fail. You can also write stand-alone applications for the ActiveX Control with
Visual Basic or C++. In this case, no browser is required, as your stand-alone
application takes the place of a browser. For platform information, see
“Autodesk MapGuide ActiveX Control Viewer Requirements” on page 17.
Autodesk MapGuide Viewer Plug-In for Netscape
The Autodesk MapGuide Viewer Plug-In exposes an API that is accessible
from JavaScript and Java. The Plug-In API objects are exposed via Netscape
LiveConnect technology.
If you develop an application
only
for the Plug-In version of the Viewer, users
can access that application with Netscape only; if someone tries to view your
application with Internet Explorer, it will fail. For platform information, see
“Autodesk MapGuide Plug-In Viewer Requirements” on page 17.
