Web enable your application

[Allanxxx]

I created a nice small VB6 application. My team likes it. I think the real answer though is developing a web enabled app (no client install, no update hassles, no problem with distribution and the list goes on...).

My question to you is:

Has anyone written a web enabled app using the GdPicture Pro OCX? One where the user doesn't need to download the OCX so the OCX stays on a web server and they access it through server side controls.

If so, can you send me an small example. I'm not sure how to add the class to the html etc.

Or is this a licensing issue?

All I'm trying to do is scan an image into a web site, that's it.

Thanks for your help Loic and the rest of you...

You can check this forum to find some client side & server side usage of the GdPicture SDKs.

If so, can you send me an small example.

We will add a html sample project within next GdPicture V5 packages.

Or is this a licensing issue?

There are only one restriction: You are not allowed to use your license key into public web page (page which can be read outside of your organization).


Best regards,

Thanks as always Loic...
It looks like the samples you gave me require the OCX to be downloaded and registered on the client machine. I was hoping to achieve this without having to do that. Will version 5 allow my team members to access the features of the OCX without downloading and registering?

Thanks,

Allan

Loic,

Do you have a way that we can use the OCX on a secured web server without putting the license key in plain text? Can you create a special signed version that doesn't need a key? We would be willing to pay for that, no problem.

We want to give our customers a way to scan a document into our system from a web page. They would have secure logins so the pages are open to everyone.

Thanks!

Any thoughts?

Hi Keith,

I am sorry, I forgot this post

Unfortunately not. It is the mains reason that the EULA states to use GdPicture only in private area for Internet utilization. I know there is some solution to encrypt html content. See: http://www.iwebtool.com/html_encrypter

Can you create a special signed version that doesn't need a key? We would be willing to pay for that, no problem.

We already thought about this kind of solution. But we choose to don't go in this way. I think it is more unsecured than "visible" license key.
If someone stills your license key, just write us a mail to get another one and to get the first unactivated.

Kind regards,

Loïc
