Code Snippets

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.
