Creating new page

[Frank]

Is it possible to encode the htm page internally, so when it will open it
will be shown without toolbars at the top (preferable not any icons or
menus) and without Favorites frame on the left?
How can be that done?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

No.

You would have to have a link that open the page in a new window created via JavaScript in order to
disable the toolbars and menus.

[Frank]

Thank you.
The problem I am facing is, that I am NOT calling that page from the html
link.
I am starting that page from within my visual basic application using Shell
statement:
ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, "Open", "IExplore.exe", App.Path &
"\options_help.htm#GENERAL", App.Path, vbNormalFocus)
Frank

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Since this is really not a FP related question, suggest that you post to the appropriate VB
newsgroup.

[Frank]

Easy to say.
It is not VB newsgroup problem. It is Front Page news problem, because the
page in question is htm and it is created in Front Page, not visual basic!!!
Frank

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

But you are trying to launch the page with VB, not as a normal html page being loaded in a browser.
You only have 2 choices for creating a window, a normal browser window by browsing to the site's URL
or a popup window controlled by JavaScript.

Maybe there are some command prompt parameters for IE controlling how
browser opens the window?
Frank

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Then you need to post to the IE newsgroup.

[Frank]

Thank you.
I checked that and I hate it!!!
I remember visiting some websites displaying page in "kiosk" mode. It will
not let do anything like: closing it, browsing back etc.
What I need is a "mini" kiosk mode, resizable window.
Maybe I need too much????

Look into: modal dialog

A modal dialog has no toolbar, and only an x button.
Takes a bit of javascript to make it work.

Not sure about browser compatibility though.

The only way to open IE in kiosk mode is by entering: iexplore -kiosk
in start run, or in a command window at: driveletter:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer

Ok if it's an application that is going to run on a client and not from the
web,
use the windows shell to open IE in kiosk mode with the initial page as the
file for IE to open

What language is your application written in??

You should be able to use it to create a small console style executable ( no
gui ) to launch IE using ShellExecute and launch the initial executable
using an autorun.inf file on the cd. ( assuming your application is
distributed via CD )

Or, Google for "Microsoft HTML help workshop"
It's free and what a lot of people used to compile the help files include
with their applications.
The ones with the index and table of contents.

I checked that and I hate it!!!
I remember visiting some websites displaying page in "kiosk" mode. It
will not let do anything like: closing it, browsing back etc.
What I need is a "mini" kiosk mode, resizable window.
Maybe I need too much????

NOTE: This might come in handy when you view in Kiosk Mode...

Keyboard Shortcuts for Kiosk Mode
Key combination Function
-----------------------------------------------------------
CTRL+A Select all (editing)
CTRL+B Organize favorites
CTRL+C Copy (editing)
CTRL+F Find (on current page)
CTRL+H View History folder
CTRL+L Open Location dialog box
CTRL+N New window (opens in non-Kiosk mode)
CTRL+O Open Location dialog box (same as CTRL+L)
CTRL+P Print
CTRL+R Refresh
CTRL+S Save
CTRL+V Paste (editing)
CTRL+W Close (same as ALT+F4)
CTRL+X Cut (editing)
ALT+F4 Close
ALT+LEFT ARROW Back
ALT+RIGHT ARROW Forward
ESC Stop
F5 Refresh
---------------------------------------------------------------

The important ones are the ALT+F4 or CTRL+W To get out of it.. Ha hahaha


bob
| Ok if it's an application that is going to run on a client and not from
the
| web,
| use the windows shell to open IE in kiosk mode with the initial page as
the
| file for IE to open
|
| What language is your application written in??
|
| You should be able to use it to create a small console style executable
( no
| gui ) to launch IE using ShellExecute and launch the initial executable
| using an autorun.inf file on the cd. ( assuming your application is
| distributed via CD )

Thank you, Steve.
HTML Help is just want I want.
Frank

Or, Google for "Microsoft HTML help workshop"
It's free and what a lot of people used to compile the help files include
with their applications.
The ones with the index and table of contents.

Is this for a public website, or an in house display of some sort??
