Internet Explorer Embedded RPC Support (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

  • Article

1/6/2010

Internet Explorer RPC Support enables the browser parent window to communicate with its child windows if the child window is opened by using the Open method of the window object.

For example, using this functionality, the child window can write to the parent's edit control and the reverse is true also. Also, the parent window can open or close the child window.

Note

Modeless dialog boxes are not supported with cross-window scripting even if you include the Internet Explorer RPC Support Catalog item in your OS design.

For more information about the window object see this Microsoft Web site.

OS Design Information

The following table shows the operating system design information for the Internet Explorer RPC Support functionality.

DCOM (RPC) support

Hardware considerations

None

Note

The RPC functionality in Windows Embedded CE is used only by DCOM. It is not supported in other deployment scenarios.

Implementation Considerations

The following table shows the Sysgen variables that control the Internet Explorer RPC Support functionality.

Sysgen variable Description

SYSGEN_IE_ACTXPRXY

Adds the proxy and stub library for Internet Explorer interfaces to your OS design. It enables the browser to communicate across different browser windows it has opened by using the window.open method.

Note

Setting the SYSGEN_IE_ACTXPRXY variable also sets the Sysgen variable SYSGEN_DCOM. This adds the DCOM functionality to your OS design.
