The following sample application shows how to use the "WScript.shell" ActiveX object in order to interact with the client machine and some more. In the project you will see a custom control named Shell which is represented by a server side cs file and a js client file. Within the client js file you will see 4 action methods: 1. Shell_Init - initializes the ActiveX object. 2. Shell_Run - execute an executable on the client machine 3. Shell_PlaySound - play a sound using <Object> tag and an internal media player (does not use the WScript.shell) 4. Shell_SendKeys - simulate key press. And 3 post occurrence methods which are invoked in order to raise an event back to the server to enable handling the action Finish event on server side scripting. Note: Codes are submitted as a .zip file to shorten your download time. After downloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.

You may use this code in your own programs (and may compile it into a program and distribute it in compiled format for languages that allow it) freely and with no charge. 2.

I played a bit around with the new 6.4 ListView control, its quite amazing what you can do with it. It opens a lot of new ways to present data in a better and more userfriendly way.
